Habitat:

Buried in the soil.


Host:

Coleoptera larva.


Description:

Stroma numerous, 0.5-2.5 mm in length, 1-1.5 mm in breadth, cylindrical, reddish brown. Rhizoids flexuous, arising from the head of Coleoptera larva, ca 1-3.5 cm long under the ground. Fertile part hemispherical perithecial plates, some terminal, many subterminal, pale yellowish brown, 0.5-4 mm diam, 1-2 mm high. Perithecia ovoid with protruding apices, 900-1 100 × 350-450 μm. Asci cylindrical, 300-700 × 3-5 μm. Ascospores hyaline, filiform, cylindrical, breaking into small truncate part-spores, 3-6 × 1-1.5 μm.


Culture characteristics:

Colonies on PDA moderately growing, ca 1 cm diam in 7 d at 25°C, white, cottony and with abundant mycelial density. Synnemata forming after 21 d, solitary, unbranched, up to 2 mm long. Conidial mass produced on subterminal part of synnemata or covering the surface of colony. Two types of phialides present: α-phialides consisting of verticillate branches with phialides in whorls of 2–5. Entire phialides 7–22 × 1–2 μm, with cylindrical basal portion, α-conidia fusoid to globose, 2–3 × 1.5–2 μm, in conidial masses on PDA. β-phialides consisting of erect conidiophores either arising from aerial or vegetative hyphae. Phialides solitary along the hyphae. Entire phialides 12–25 × 2–2.5 μm, awl-shaped, β-conidia fusiform, in chains, 3–8 × 1–2.5 μm.
