Holotype:
THAILAND, Namtok Samlan National Park, 2 Feb. 2005, J. Luangsa-ard, S. Mongkolsamrit, holotype BBH 14640, ex-type living culture BCC 17091.
Habitat:
Underside of bamboo leaves.
Host:
Leafhoppers (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae).
Description:
Host head and thorax covered with pale green to green mycelium covered by sporulating conidiophores.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA at first white turning green due to conidiation after 3 d. Vegetative hyphae are hyaline and smooth walled, forming a basal felt bearing densely packed, erect conidiophores and often having a floccose marginal overgrowth of aerial mycelium. Conidiophores erect, resembling Nomuraea in forming dense clusters of branches, each bearing 2–4 globose to subglobose conidiogenous cells without a distinct neck, around the stalk. Phialides are short and cylindrical, 5–7 × 2–3 μm. Conidia globose, 3–4 μm in diam.
