Habitat:
Underside of pomelo leaves (Citrus maxima).
Host:
Leafhopper.
Description:
Mycelium covering loosely the leafhopper with compact pale yellow to orange hyphae and surrounded by a radiating mat over the leaf. Conidiogenous structures phialidic, borne directly and singly on hyphae. Phialides cylindrical or flask-shaped, basal portion, 7-20 × 2-4 μm, tapering into a long neck, 4-10 × 1 μm. Conidia smooth-walled, one-celled, hyaline, fusiform to globose, apiculate on distal end, 2-5 × 2-3 μm.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 8 mm in 14 d, cottony with high mycelial density, greyish purple. Mycelium smooth-walled, septate, hyaline. Conidiogenous structures phialidic, borne directly and singly on hyphae. Phialides 8–20 × 3–4 μm, with cylindrical basal portion, tapering predominantly into a long neck or occasionally producing two to three necks, 3–10 × 1 μm. Conidia smooth-walled, one-celled, hyaline, fusiform to globose, apiculate on distal end, 2–3 × 2–3 μm.
