| Description： |
Mycelium covering the beetle host, particularly abundant on ventral surface, granular-pulverulent, white to orange white (5A2). Hyphae hyaline, smooth, 1.8-4.1 μm wide, bearing groups of conidial apparatus. The swollen lateral cells, globose to cylindrical, 5.2-9.5 × 4.0-5.7 μm, further branching, giving rise to numerous (4-9) smaller swollen cells, or 3-6 conidiogenous cells in the first, or sometimes in the second order, the swollen cells globose or subglobose, 4.0-5.2 × 4.4-5.3 μm. Conidiogenous cells consisting of a globose to flask-shaped basal part, 4.0-5.6 × 3.2-4.4 μm, and slender terminal cell, with well developed rachis, 7.9-14.0 μm long, 1.4-2.0 μm wide, geniculate or irregularly bent, denticulate, denticles thinner than the rachis, ca. 0.5-1.2 μm long. Conidia oblong to ellipsoidal, hyaline, smooth-walled, slightly curved, sometimes middle narrowest, base pointed, slightly apicu-late, (4.0-)4.8-7.1 × 2.0-2.4(-2.9) μm. Chlamydospores not observed. | |||
