Family of fungi

Neozygitaceae Scientific classification Kingdom: Fungi Division: Entomophthoromycota Class: Entomophthoromycetes Order: Entomophthorales Family: Neozygitaceae Ben Ze'ev, R.G.Kenneth & Uziel (1987) Genera Apterivorax Neozygites

**Neozygitaceae** is a [family](/source/Family_(taxonomy)) of [fungi](/source/Fungi) in the order [Entomophthorales](/source/Entomophthorales).[1] The family was [circumscribed](/source/Circumscription_(taxonomy)) in 1987. Originally created to contain the genera *[Neozygites](/source/Neozygites)* and *[Thaxterosporium](/source/Thaxterosporium)*, the family was distinguished from other similar Entomophthorales families by differences in its nuclear structure, and behaviour during mitosis.[2] The genus *[Apterivorax](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apterivorax&action=edit&redlink=1)* was erected and added to the family in 2005.[3] Genus *Thaxterosporium* has since been [synonymised](/source/Synonym_(taxonomy)) with *Neozygites*.[4]
