Secondary conidia resembling primary conidia, spherical, 12.7-16.7 × 9.5-15.1 μm, L/D＝1.05-1.36, or capilliconidia on long capillary. Capilliconidia 13.1-25.4 × 8.7-14.7 μm, L/D＝1.13-2.55, amygdaliform, almond-shaped, with disk-, drop- or sucker-like haptor at the apex. Capilliphores 38.9-86.5 × 1.4-2.4 μm. Cystidia absent.
