Holotype:
THAILAND, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Khao Yai National Park, 1 Sep. 2002, N.L. Hywel-Jones, holotype BBH 8638, ex-type living culture BCC 13102.
Habitat:
Underside of monocot leaf.
Host:
On Myrmarachne sp. (Salticidae).
Description:
White mycelia covering the body of a spider host, occasionally its legs. Multiple synnemata produced, cylindrical, attenuated, brown when dried, 5–5.5 mm long, 175–200 µm wide, narrowing upward to a slender tip, 62.5–75 µm wide, consisting of parallel multiseptated longitudinal hyphae. Conidiophores arising from the outer layer of hyphal network loosely attached to the synnemata, crowded along the entire length of the synnemata, multiseptate, minutely roughened, 105–415 × 6–15 µm, abruptly narrowing to a distinct long slender stipe, bearing an aspergillus-like conidial head. Conidial head spherical, 37–42 µm diam. Vesicles terminated from apices of conidiophores, globose to subglobose, 7–9 µm diam, bearing multiple metulae. Metulae broadly obovoid, 6.5–10 × 5.5–7 µm. Phialides narrowly clavate to cylindrical, 8.5–11.5 × 2.5– 4 µm. Conidia borne on phialides, single, often in chains of up to four, bacilliform to cylindrical, 3.5–9 × 1–1.5 µm. Granulomanus synasexual morph and sexual morph not observed.
