Holotype:
THAILAND, Buri Ram Province, Dong Yai Wildlife Sanctuary, 10 Dec. 2010, K. Tasanathai, P. Srikitikulchai, A. Khonsanit, K. Sansatchanon, W. Noisripoom, A. Saksrikrom, B. Saracam, S. Mongkolsamrit, holotype BBH 38545, ex-type living culture BCC 45574.
Habitat:
Underside of a dicotyledonous leaf.
Host:
On Theridiidae.
Description:
Yellow mycelia fully covering the spider body, occasionally on its legs. Synnemata brownish white in a group of three, cylindrical, attenuated, 7 mm long, 175 µm wide, narrowing to a slender apex, terminating into a swollen tip. Conidiophores scattered, arising from the outer layer of synnemata and the mycelia somewhat loosely attached to the host body and legs, multiseptate, verrucose, 62.5–180 × 7.5–10 µm, becoming shorter towards the tip of synnemata, tapering abruptly to a distinct neck, enlarging into a vesicle. Vesicle globose to subglobose, 6.5–8.5 µm diam, bearing a group of metulae. Metulae broadly obovoid, 6.5–8 × 5–7 µm. Phialides borne on metulae, narrowly clavate to cylindrical, 6–7.5 × 2–2.5 µm, each bearing a conidium. A vesicle, metulae and phialides forming a spherical conidial head, 30–33 µm diam. Conidia ellipsoid to ovoid, occasionally globose, 1.5–3 × 1–2 µm.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 1 cm in 20 d at 25 °C, white, cottony; reverse pale brown, darkening with age towards the centre.
