Paecilomyces farinosus was isolated from a pupa of butterfly Luehdorfia japonica (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae). This is the first record of the fungus from L. japonica. The isolate showed pathogenesity on pupae of a moth species Galleria melonera （Lepidoptera: Pyralididae) and produced synnemata on them.
