Holotype:
THAILAND, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Khao Yai National Park, 16 Jun. 2000, R. Nasit, ex-type living culture BCC 2711.
Habitat:
Underside of a dicotyledonous leaf.
Host:
On Linyphiidae.
Description:
White mycelia growing over the spider, densely on the abdomen, occasionally on the cephalothorax and legs. Synnema arising from the posterior part of the host, cylindric, attenuated, approximately 3 mm long, 70 µm wide, white at the base, becoming brown to greenish brown upward, enlarging into inconspicuous swollen tip with acute apex. Conidiophores arising from outer layer of hyphal network of the synnema, absent in the lower part, scattered, occasionally septate at base, minutely roughened, 42.5–90 × 7.5–10 µm, tapering abruptly in a slender apex and terminating into a swollen vesicle. Vesicles globose to subglobose, 7.5–11 µm diam bearing multiple metulae. Metulae broadly obovoid, 7–10 × 5–7 µm. Phialides borne on metulae, narrowly clavate to cylindrical, apically thickened, occasionally with very short neck, 6–9 × 2–3 µm, each bearing a conidium. A vesicle, metulae and phialides forming a spherical conidial head, 38–42 µm diam. Conidia ellipsoid, narrowly ovoid, sometimes with an acute end, 2.5–4 × 1–1.5 µm. Granulomanus synasexual morph and sexual morph not observed.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 1.5 cm in 24 d at 25 °C, cottony, brownish white; reverse light brown, darkening with age, starting from the centre.
