THAILAND, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, KhaoYai National Park, 8 Nov. 2012, S. Mongkolsamrit, A. Khonsanit, W. Noisripoom, P. Srikitikulchai, R. Somnuk, holotype BBH 35197, ex-type living culture BCC 57817.
Habitat:
Underside of a dicotyledonous leaf.
Host:
On non-web builder Araneomorphae.
Description:
Spider completely covered by yellowish-light brown mycelial mat. Synnemata pale brown, cylindrical, in pairs, 6 mm long, 475 µm wide, terminating in a swollen sterile globose tip, 600 µm wide. Conidiophores arising laterally from the outer layer of synnemata and from the mycelia covering all over the host, distinctly crowded, septa conspicuous, minutely roughened, 140–420 × 8.5–13.5 µm, narrowing to a slender apex, and terminating in a swollen vesicle. Vesicles spherical, 9–12 µm diam, bearing multiple metulae. Metulae broadly obovoid, 9–2 × 6–9 µm. Phialides borne on metulae, narrowly clavate to cylindrical, 7–10 × 2.5–3 µm, bearing conidia. Conidia narrowly almond-shaped, 3–4 × 1.5–2 µm. Vesicle, metulae, phialides forming a spherical conidial head, 41–45 µm diam. Sexual morph and Granulomanus synasexual morph not observed.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 1.7 cm in 28 d at 25 °C, white, cottony; reverse pale brown, darkening with age toward centre.
