Holotype:
THAILAND, Trang Province, Khao Banthat Wildlife Sanctuary, 18 Sep. 2007, K. Tasanathai, B. Thongnuch, holotype BBH 31372, ex-type living culture BCC 27968.
Habitat:
Underside of a dicotyledonous leaf.
Host:
On Araneida.
Description:
Mycelium white to yellowish-white, completely covering spider body. Synnemata yellowish white to pale yellow, solitary or in groups of three, 5–15 mm long, with clavate, brush-like fertile area, 3–4 × 0.8–1.2 mm; narrowing to a slender, short stipe (ca 1–2 mm) and terminating in a wing-like, rounded, yellow to golden brown sterile tip that consists of a delicate network of loose, hyaline, anastomosing hyphae (0.5–1 mm long). Conidiophores numerous arising from surface hyphae, scattered, verrucose, hyaline, 10–91 × 2–6 µm, narrowing to a slender apex and terminating in a swollen vesicle. Conidial head spherical, 31–48 diam. Vesicles ellipsoidal to globose, 6–10 × 5–10 µm, bearing a number of metulae on the upper portion. Metulae ellipsoidal to obovoidal, 3.5–10 × 3.5–8 µm. Phialides mostly oblong-elliptical, 5.5–11 × 2–3 µm. Conidia fusiform to fusiform-elliptical, smooth-walled, hyaline, 3–5.5 × 1–3 µm. Granulomanus-like synanamorph not observed.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA slow growing, attaining a diam of 1 cm in 3-4 weeks at 25 °C. Colonies white to yellowish-white; reverse pale yellow to brown at the center, or entirely brown with age.
