Guizhou: Zunyi, Dabanshui Mountain (106.807671, 27.779294), on larvae of Lepidoptera in soil, 21 July 2024, Shi-Ke Huang (HKAS 145947, holotype); ex-type living culture (KUNCC 25-19105). Additional culture also isolated (KUNCC 25-19106).</p><p>Etymology: — referring to the fungus occurring on insect larvae.</p><p>Description: — Sexual morph: Stromata multiple, fleshly, unbranched, about 10 mm long and 1 mm wide, reddish to orange-red, cylindrical. Rhizoids flexuous, emerging from the head and base of lepidoptera larva in soil. Stipe flesh, reddish to orange-red, cylindrical to enlarging apically. Fertile area bright reddish to reddish orange, clavate, irregularly distributed at the apex, with the longer side measuring about 4 mm and the shorter side about 1.5 mm in length, 0.6–1 mm in width. Perithecia 210–340 × 90–160 μm (x̄ = 265 × 125 μm, n = 30), semi-immersed, narrowly ovoid to ampulliform, thick-walled, with ostiole on the top. Peridium 20–38 μm (x̄ = 25 μm, n = 50), comprising two layers, inner layer composed of hyaline to pale orange cells of textura porrecta, outer layer composed of yellow to orange cells of textura angularis. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical, 95–125 × 3.6–6 μm (x̄ = 110 × 4.5 μm, n = 50), with a thick hemispheric apex. Ascospores filiform, hyaline, irregularly multiseptate, 75–95 × 0.7–1.2 μm (x̄ = 80 × 1.0 μm, n = 50), not separating into part-spores when they reach maturity. Asexual morph: Colonies white to purplish red on PDA, cottony with dense mycelium, 20 mm diameter after 10 days at 25 ℃, purplish pigment spreading in PDA. Phialides arising from aerial hyphae, solitary or in whorls of 2–3 on each branch, cylindrical, sometimes swollen at the base, about 10 μm long and 2 μm wide, tapering from the base to thin neck. Conidia hyaline, ovoid to cylindrical, smooth-walled, one-celled, 3.5–5.5 × 1.5–2.5 μm (x̄ = 4.5–2 μm, n = 50).</p><p>Morphological distinguishing features of all Blackwellomyces species are listed in Table 2 and are highlighted in the Discussion.</p><p>......continued on the next page</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/752487C2880A7F162BA2B2BFEF86398C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
