<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>Among the cyclodepsipeptides, beauveriolides I (1) and II (2) have been isolated from the mycelium of Beauveria sp., and their stereostructures were elucidated by spectral analyses coupled with syntheses of the corresponding 3-hydroxyoctanoic acid derivatives. Beauveriolide I (1) exhibited moderate insecticidal activities against Spodoptera litura and Callosobruchus chinensis.
