Specimens were found on the underside of dicotyledonous leaves of forest plants. Hosts are scale insects (Hemiptera). Stromata hemispherical, up to 3 mm in diam. and up to 2 mm high, when fresh yellow brown and becoming dark brown when old. Perithecia several in each tubercle, ostiola red brown, slightly projecting, flask-shape, up to 550 µm long, up to 350 µm in diam. Asci cylindrical, 175 x 10-12 µm wide. Ascospores divide into part-spores, 7.5-10 x 2-3 µm, cylindrical oblong-oval, ends round. In culture the colonies on PDA are slow-growing, attaining a diam. of 5 mm after 4 wk at 20oC. Colonies were pale yellow. Sporulation begins after 4 wk from pycnidia. This is a rarely reported species in Thailand. Collections have been from the north (Doi Inthanon National Park), northeast (Khao Yai National Park) and south (Khao Laem National Park, Khlong Naka Wildlife Sanctuary).
