Habitat:
Underside of a bamboo leaf
Host:
On fruit fly (Tephritidae, Anastrepha obliqua), soldier fly (Stratiomyidae, Sarginae).
Description:
Stromata stipitate, two stromata arising from the thorax region of host, beneath the wings, capitate, unbranched. Stipes cylindrical, smooth, yellowish white, 4–8 mm long, 0.5–1.5 mm wide. Sexual morph: Fertile heads disc-shaped, upper surface slightly convex, yellowish white, located at the tip of the stipes, 1–2 mm thick, 1–2.5 mm diam. Perithecia immersed, ovoid to obclavate, 700–1075 × 240–30 μm. Asci cylindrical, 320–880 × 5–7 μm, with cap 3–6 μm thick. Ascospores filiform, multi-septate, breaking into 64 part-spores, cylindrical to fusoid, 6–12 × 1–2 μm. Asexual morph: Synnemata arising from posterior abdomen region of host, solitary or multiple, cylindrical, unbranched, yellowish white, 3–10 × 0.5–1 mm, fertile part located at the two-thirds length of the synnemata. Conidiogenous cells hymenostilbe-like, phialidic, forming a hymenial layer. Phialides cylindrical with short crowded denticles, 10–20 × 2–4 μm. Conidia hyaline smooth walled, obovoid, 5–8 × 2–3 μm.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 10 mm in 30 d, high mycelium density, white, reverse pale yellow.
Conidia and reproductive structures not observed.
