Holotype:
THAILAND, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Khao Yai National Park, 6 Jun. 2014, W. Noisripoom, T. Chohmee, P. Srikitikulchai, S. Sommai, R. Somnuk, holotype BBH 38669, ex-type living culture BCC 72638.
Habitat:
Underside of leaf.
Host:
Adult moths (Tortricidae; Lepidoptera).
Description:
Specimens examined in this study can be found on the underside of dicotyledonous leaves and palm leaf. The hosts were adult moths, ca 4-9 × 1-2 mm. Two types of synnemata were produced on insect hosts. Several long synnemata arose at the head and in the middle of the host body, white to cream, up to 5 mm long and ca 120-150 μm wide, rarely branched, cylindrical to clavate with acute or blunt end. Conidiogenous cells produced along synnemata, monophialidic or polyphialidic. Phialides 5-10 × 1.8-3 μm, cylindrical to ellipsoidal with papillate end. Conidia smooth-walled, hyaline, single-celled, fusoid, 2-3.2 × 0.8-2 μm. Several short synnemata arose on moth body, wings, and legs, white to cream, 197-300 × 15-40 μm, with diam of the tip 43-75 μm, cylindrical with subglobose or oblong end. Conidiogenous cells produced at the end of synnemata, monophialidic or polyphialidic. Phialides 5-10 × 1.8-3 μm, cylindrical to ellipsoidal with papillate end. Conidia smooth-walled, hyaline, single-celled, fusoid, 1-3 × 1-2 μm. Phialides and conidia from both long and short synnemata were on the same size range.
Culture characteristics:
Colony on PDA growing with a diam of 25–31 mm in 14 d, white, circular, flat, entire, reverse pale yellow. Mycelium smooth, septate, hyaline. Conidia and reproductive structures not produced.
