 Description: Colonies on oat meal agar effuse, low, thin, white to pale brown or pale reddish purple; reverse pale brown to middle brown or reddish purple. Mycelium mostly immersed, partly superficial, composed of branched, septate, smooth or roughened, hyaline to pale brown 0.6-2.4 μm wide hyphae. Conidiophores macronematous, mononematous, terminal or lateral, simple, cylindrical or clavate, usually 1-2-septate, erect or flexuous, smooth to roughened or verrucose at the base, pale brown to reddish purple, 17.2-52.0 × 3.2-6.4 μm, sympodial proliferating at the apex. Conidiogenous cells polyblastic, integrated, denticulate. Conidia solitary, cylindrical, often slightly curved, rounded at the apex, truncate at the base, 1-septate, smooth, hyaline, 15.0-20.0 × 3.2-5.1 μm, usually with two slender, tapering curved setulae on the same side of the conidium, setulae up to 17.2 μm long.

 Note: Characteristics of Codinaea triseptata Matsushima are close to H. jaipurensis, but the former species has polyphialidic conidiogenous cells and 3-septate conidia. Hyphodis-cocioides tambopataensis Matsushima is similar to H. jaipurensis, but the former species was described as having monoblastic, annellidic conidiogenous cells and 1-celled, smooth, pale brown conidia with two short setulae.
