Holotype:
THAILAND, Khon Kaen Province, Khon Kaen Field Crop Research Center, 27 May 2016, W. Noisripoom, S. Wongkanoun, A. Klaysuban, holotype BBH 45360, ex-type living culture BCC 81462.
Habitat:
Buried in the soil.
Host:
Hemiptera (cicada nymph).
Description:
Stromata variable in number, solitary to three, 20-30 mm tall, and 2-3 mm wide. Rhizoids flexuous, ca 2 cm long, arising from the head of cicada nymphs living underground. Fertile part distinctly terminal, globose, pinkish red, sterile stroma beneath the fertile part cylindrical, pale pink. Perithecia completely immersed, ovoid, 590-700 × 200-300 μm. Asci cylindrical, 237.5-337.5 × 5-6 μm, with cap, 5 × 5 μm. Ascospores filiform, 300-360 × 1.5-2 μm, readily breaking into 32 part-spores, 7-13 × 1.5-2 μm.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA relatively slow-growing, attaining a diam of 5 mm in 30 d at 25 °C, dark-brown with cream edges. Colonies produce brown synnemata after 1 mo with a pruinose area bearing conidiogenous cells and conidia. Conidiogenous cells phialidic, hirsutella-like, 5.5–11 × 2–3 μm. Conidia hyaline, fusiform, smooth walled, 3–5.5 × 1–3 μm.
