Notes: Recent studies have linked the biocontrol activity of Lecanicillium lecanii, an entomopathogenic fungus, to an indirect mutualism between an ant (Azteca instabilis) and the scale insect (Coccus viridis), in which L. lecanii is a pathogen of the scale insect, suggesting that natural biological control of coffee rust by a hyperparasite is dependent on a complex ecological web
