Abstract

Simplicillium species have a wide host range and an extensive distribution. Some species are associated with rust fungi and other plant pathogenic fungi and play an important role in biological control. In this current work, two specimens of Simplicillium were collected from Chiang Mai, Thailand. Simplicillium formicae sp. nov. was collected from an infected ant and S. lanosoniveum from Ophiocordyceps unilateralis and is a new host record. Species were initially identified using ITS gene sequences and confirmed using phylogenies from analyses of a combined nrLSU, nrSSU, tef-1a and rpb1 dataset and morphology. Simplicillium formicae differs from other species in the genus in producing flask-shaped synnemata and special phialides with intercalary nodes. Simplicillium lanosoniveum resembles other collections of the species in its completely solitary, tapering phialides, globose to ellipsoidal conidia which adhere in slimly head. A key to species of Simplicillium is provided to advance the understanding of interspecies relationships.
