Infected dipteran flies attached to substratum by weft of mycelium, brownish orange (6C5-6), or light brown (6D5-6) to brown (7E7-8), occasionally dark brown (6F8). Synne-mata solitary, occasionally two arising from posterior abdomen of host, 1.0-2.0 cm long, 200-224 μm thick, slightly curved, subcylindric, somewhat attenuated upward, brown (7E8) to dark brown (7F8) in the base, light brown (6D4) to reddish white (7A2), greyish red (7B3) toward the apex, composed of longitudinal, more or less parallel, closely compacted hyphae. Hyphae hyaline, slightly thick-walled, sometimes swollen near the septa, smooth, 4.4-7.9 μm wide. Conidiophores arising from hyphae of synnemata, forming a hymenial layer, con-sisting of clavate, cylindrical basal parts, and solitary or mono-, biverticillate tubular polyblastic conidiogenous cells, 10.3-19.1 × 2.4-3.2 μm, bearing minute cylindrical to slightly capitate projections, ca. 0.8 μm diam. Conidia hyaline, smooth, ellipsoid to obovoid, occasionally broadly fusoid, one-celled, (3.7-)5.0-6.8(-7.4) × 2.1-3.6 μm.
