Habitat:
Underside of leaves.
Host:
Lafhoppers, Ophiocordyceps flavida.
Description:
Occurring with Ophiocordyceps flavida on Tartessus ferrugineus (Hemiptera, Cicadellidae) on the underside of Citrus maxima leaf (pomelo). Mycelium becoming cream to white due to presence of white powdery conidia, mononematous. Conidiophores arising from the mycelium covering and surrounding the host, up to 180 μm in length, 3-5 μm wide, septate, rough, terminating in a small vesicle, globose, 4-5 μm diam. Conidial heads radiating, biseriate, 40-60 μm diam. Conidiogenous branches swollen, globose, 3-5 μm diam. Conidiogenous cells flask-shaped to cylindrical, with conspicuous rachises at the upper part, 4-8 × 1.5-2 μm. Conidia hyaline, smooth, cylindrical, or narrowly obovoid, 2-6 × 1-2 μm.
Culture characteristics:
Colonies on PDA attaining a diam of 10 mm in 21 d, cottony with high mycelial density, white. Mycelium smooth-walled, hyaline, sporulating poorly. Conidiogenous cells arising from aerial hyphae, solitary ovoid with conspicuous rachises at the upper part of conidiogenous cells, 4–8 × 2–5 μm. Conidia hyaline, cylindrical, or narrowly obovoid, 3–6 × 1–2.5 μm.
