Habitat:
In leaf litter.
Host:
Adult cicada (Hemiptera, Megapomponia).
Description:
Host covered by mycelium, initially white, then turning pale green to greyish green, with heavy sporulation. Synnemata absent. Conidiophores borne on hyphae, erect, septate, smooth-walled, hyaline, bearing divergent, terminal, verticillate metulae or phialides. Metulae broadly clavate or cylindrical. Phialides oval cylindrical, ellipsoidal, 4-8 × 3-4 μm. Conidia aseptate, smooth-walled, cylindrical, ellipsoidal, usually slightly curved or allantoid, 6-11 × 3-5 μm.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 15 mm in 14 d, mycelium floccose, cottony greyish green to dark green, margin floccose, white, reverse centre yellow to yellow brown, sporulation starts at 7 d after inoculation. Conidiophores arising from hyphae, erect, smooth-walled, metulae broadly clavate. Phialides solitary or in groups of three to eight per metula, borne directly on the conidiophores, smooth-walled, oval-cylindrical, 5–10 × 3–4 μm.
