(Fig. 2) MycoBank MB 807656.</p><p>Differs from related Ophiocordyceps species mainly by its branch-like stromata, without a sterile apex, very wide asci and ascospores and by its occurrence on Phassus nodus in living roots or trunks of Clerodendrum cyrtophyllum .</p><p>Type: — CHINA. Hunan Province: Dongkou County, Xuefeng Mountains, on Phassus nodus in root of living Clerodendrum cyrtophyllum, 8 October 2011, Ru-Cai Zhu HN4 (MFLU12-2165, holotype!) .</p><p>Stromata 70–150 mm long, 2–4 mm wide, cylindrical, 1–2 arising mainly from the head of host; living on larvae of Phassus nodus ( Hepialidae) in the trunk or upper roots near the soil of Clerodendrum cyrtophyllum (Verbenaceae) . Stipe light grey and smooth. Fertile part 40–70 mm long × 1–3 mm diam., cylindrical, yellow-brown, branching repeatedly with 12–25 branches, apices of branches covered with sparse, superficial ascomata. Cells of stromata thin-walled, globose, brown. Host 60–100 mm long, 6–10 mm wide, black-brown, with white endosclerotia. Ascomata 340–350 × 225–255 µm (x = 346 × 243, n = 10), superficial, ovoid, with a basal stipe connected to the stromata. Peridium 37–88 µm wide (x = 57, n = 10), comprising two layers; hamathecium of paraphyses. Paraphyses branched, septate, 1.9–3 µm wide (x = 2.5, n = 10). Asci 170–265 × 6.9–17.3 µm (x = 234.8 × 11.9, n = 10), 8-spored, cylindrical. Ascospores 130–245× 2–3.5 µm (x = 207.7 × 2.7, n = 10), fasciculate, thread-like, slender and long, with many septa, not breaking into secondary ascospores. Asexual state unknown.</p><p>Etymology: —Refers to its appearance similar to tree branches.</p><p>Distribution: — Hunan Province, China.</p><p>Host: —On larvae of Phassus nodus Chu &amp; Wang, living in the trunk of Clerodendrum cyrtophyllum Turcz.</p><p>Other material studied (paratypes): — CHINA.
