Holotype:
THAILAND, Buri Ram Province, Dong Yai Wildlife Sanctuary, 11 Dec. 2010, K. Tasanathai, P. Srikitikulchai, A. Khonsanit, K. Sansatchanon, W. Noisripoom, A. Saksrikrom, B. Saracam, S. Mongkolsamrit, holotype BBH 38549, ex-type living culture BCC 45580.
Habitat:
Underside of a dicotyledonous leaf.
Host:
On Thomisidae.
Description:
Spider covered by a yellowish-white mycelial mat. Synnemata cylindrical, multiple, brownish white, becoming brown towards the tip, approximately 2 mm long, 200 µm wide, terminal part ovoid tapering towards the end, 175 µm wide. Conidiophores arising along the entire length of the synnemata, absent on the swollen tip, occasionally from a network of hyphae loosely attached to the host, crowded, septa conspicuous, distinctly roughened, 47.5–115 × 6–8.5 µm, narrowing to a slender apex, and terminating in a swollen vesicle. Vesicles spherical to broadly obovoid, 7.5–10 µm diam. Metulae borne on vesicle, broadly obovoid or broadly ellipsoid, 7–10.5 × 5–7 µm, bearing multiple phialides. Phialides cylindrical to narrowly clavate, often apically thickened, 7–10 × 2–3 µm. A vesicle together with metulae and phialides forming a spherical conidial head, 33–40 µm diam. Conidia ellipsoid or narrowly almond-shaped, 3–4.5 × 1.5–2 µm. Sexual morph and Granulomanus synasexual morph not observed.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 2 cm in 28 d at 25 °C, white, floccose; reverse cream, becoming light brown with age at the centre.
