Teleomorph state: Not known

Specimens were found on small hunting spiders attached to the underside of living leaves of forest plants. Hywel-Jones, N.L. (1996) described "Stroma creamish-white mycelium covering the host. Synnemata erect, simple, cylindric, several, up to 12 mm high, 50-70 µm diam. Phialides in a monolayer, sparse, on a basal cell, smooth-walled, ellipsoid, 4.5-8.5 x 2-3.5 µm, terminating in a short but distinct neck, 1.5-3 x 0.5 µm. Conidia catenate, one-celled, smooth-walled, hyaline, cylindrical, 4-7 x 1-1.5 µm." Isolates on PDA were slow-growing, 15 mm in 21 d at 22°C, with a white aerial mycelium which produced many short synnemata although there was no evidence of sporulation. The colony reverse was cream-red and a wine-red pigment was formed in the agar. This is a rarely collected species and all records are from Khao Yai National Park. There is one collection with an undescribed Torrubiella state present.
