Holotype:
THAILAND, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Khao Yai National Park, 30 Aug. 2011, K. Tasanathai, P. Srikitikulchai, S. Mongkolsamrit, holotype BBH 31330, ex-type living culture BCC 49748.
Habitat:
Underside of a dicotyledonous leaf.
Host:
On Theridiidae.
Description:
Spider completely covered by a yellowish white mycelial mat. Synnemata yellowish white, a pair of two, cylindrical, swollen into an ovoid tip, 125 µm wide. Conidiophores arising from the mycelium covering the host and from a network of hyphae loosely attached to the surface of the synnemata, along its entire length, crowded, septa conspicuous, verrucose, 47.5–185 × 6–11 µm, narrowing abruptly to a slender apex, and terminating in a swollen vesicle. Vesicles globose to subglobose, 6.5–9 µm diam, bearing multiple broadly obovoid metulae, 6–10 × 4.5–8 µm. Phialides borne on metulae, narrowly clavate to cylindric with both round ends, 6–10 × 2–4 µm, each bearing a conidium or occasionally a chain of conidia. Conidia narrowly ovoid or narrowly ellipsoid or bacilliform, 4–6 × 2–4 µm. Vesicle, metulae and phialides forming spherical conidial heads, 30–40 µm diam.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 1 cm in 20 d at 25 °C, white, cottony; reverse light brown, darkening with age toward center.
