Two isolates of the entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) (Hypocreales: Cordycipitaceae), an isolate of (Eurotiales: Trichocomaceae), of sp. (Glomerellales: Plectosphaerellaceae) and of sp. (Hypocreales: Clavicipitaceae) were evaluated for their pathogenicity against the Mediterranean fruit fly (Diptera: Tephritidae) pupae and adults under laboratory conditions, using four different concentrations. Pathogenicity towards pupae and adults was tested via spraying and body contact bioassays respectively. Average mortality of treated individuals ranged from 60 to 100% for pupae and from 39 to 100% for adults depending on the fungal isolates and concentrations. The highest mortality levels were observed for individuals treated by ., and ., while the B. isolates were the less effective against both adult and pupae. Estimated lethal concentrations 90 ranged from
