Holotype:

THAILAND, Nakhon Si Thammarat Province, Khao Luang Naional Park, 18 Feb. 2009, A. Khonsanit, S. Mongkolsamrit, R. Promharn, P. Srikitikulchai, K. Tasanathai, holotype BBH 27004, ex-type living culture BCC 36100.


Habitat:

Underside of dicotyledonous leaves.


Host:

Armored scale insect (Diaspididae).


Description:

Stromata planar, pulvinate, pale yellow, orange to reddish brown, 3-5 mm in diam. Perithecia usually present on a slight weft of hyphae, scattered or clustered, usually 2-5 (rarely 12), ovoid, 220-420 μm long, 100-180 μm wide. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical, 160-180 × 5-7.5 μm, with cap approx. 3 μm thick. Ascospores whole, aseptate, 80-150 × 1.5-2.5 μm, cylindrical, tapering at distal ends.


Culture characteristics:

Colonies on PDA attaining 10 mm diam after 4 wk, white at first, turning grayish orange with age. Colonies formed a compact felt-like mycelium. Hirsutella-like asexual state arises from hyphae, conidiogenous structures with slender base tapering more or less evenly to a neck, 30–40 × 1–2 mm, hyaline, produced directly on prostrate hyphae on the margin of the stromatic colonies from ca 4 wk on wards. Conidia hyaline, smooth, fusiform and slightly curved, 3–4 transverse septa, produced singly or two at the neck apex, sometimes in mucous sheath, 8–15 × 2–4 mm.
