Holotype:
THAILAND, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Khao Yai National Park, 31 May 2010, K. Tasanathai, P. Srikitikulchai, S. Mongkolsamrit, T. Chohmee, A. Khonsanit, R. Somnuk, K. Sansatchanon, holotype BBH 29656, ex-type living culture BCC 42062.
Habitat:
Underside of dicotyledonous leaves.
Host:
Spiders (Araneae; Thomisidae; Diaea cf. dorsata, Diaea sp.).
Description:
Host covered with yellowish-grey mycelium. 
Perithecia growing in subiculum, aggregated in clusters, superficial, ovoid, 650-850 × 250-320 μm, ostiole pale brown. 
Asci cylindrical, 8-spored, 375-460 μm long, 5-6 μm broad, with cap 2-6 μm thick. 
Ascospores hyaline, whole ascospores with septate part-spores alternately connected with thread-like structures, four-terminal cells on each end with six alternating pairs of cells and filaments, sixteen cells per ascospore, up to 400 μm long, each cell narrowly fusiform, 10-15 × 1-2 μm, filiform regions, 35-45 × 0.2-0.8 μm. 
Asexual morph: Two types of synnemata were produced from all parts of the hosts. Several 
long synnema, grey becoming pale brown at terminal ends, cylindrical with blunt end, 2.5-5 mm long, 100-150 μm broad, middle of long synnemata, 50-80 μm broad. Conidiogenous cells producing along long synnemata. 
Short synnema, pale grey to dark grey, cylindrical, up to 450 μm long, 20-50 μm broad. Conidiogenous cells producing at the upper part of synnemata. Phialides flask-shaped at the base, 5-10 × 3-5 μm, tapering into distinct necks, 2-3.5 × 0.5-1 μm. 
Conidia hyaline, fusiform, 3-6 × 1-2 μm.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 16–20 mm in 21 d, cottony with high mycelium density, white, reverse pale yellow. Conidia and reproductive structures not observed.
