Batkoa is a genus of fungi within the family of Entomophthoraceae and order Entomophthorales of the Zygomycota.[2] This has been supported by molecular phylogenetic analysis (Gryganskyi et al. 2012).[3]
The genus name of Batkoa is named by the American mycologist Richard A. Humber in 1989 to honor the Polish mycologist Andrzej Batko (1933-1997).[1]
The presence of rhizoids and having globose (rounded) rather than pear-shaped conidia helps identify Batkoa species from Entomophaga species.[4]
