Holotype:
ITALY, Emilia-Romagna, Villa Cade, Mar. 1984, K.V. Deseo, neotype BPI 880999, ex-type living culture ARSEF 1564.
Habitat:
Leaf litters, soils, phylloplanes, occasionally from living plant tissues.
Host:
Adult beetles, click beetles, true weevils, soils.
Description:
Hosts covered with white mycelium, powdery while sporulating.Vegetative hyphae septate, branched, hyaline, smooth-walled, 1-2 mm wide. Phialides solitary but usually in dense clusters of five or more, base subspherical to ampulliform and 3-6 mm wide, apex with an indeterminate 1 mm wide geniculate, denticulate rachis, produced laterally on aerial hyphae or from subtending cells mostly 2.5-6 3 × 3-6 mm. Conidia 2-3 × 2-3 mm, globose, subglobose or broadly ellipsoid, rarely ellipsoid, sometimes with inconspicuous hilum at base, hyaline, aseptate, walls thin and smooth.
Culture characteristics:
Colony on PDA appearance densely to loosely lanose, either closely appressed to agar surface or cushion-like and up to 5 mm thick, at first white and often becoming yellowish white. Conidia aggregated as, 0.1 mm spherical clusters among aerial hyphae and white in mass15–32 mm diam at 10 d at 23 °C.
