Gibellula pulchra

Hello Andrea Sander, according to this study : Shrestha B, Kubátová A, Tanaka E, Oh J, Yoon DH, Sung JM, Sung GH (2019) Spider-pathogenic fungi within Hypocreales (Ascomycota): their current nomenclature, diversity, and distribution. Mycological Progress 18: 983–1003. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11557-019-01512-3, there is only one Gibellula species in South Africa : Gibellula pulchra. More, descriptions I read are very closely to your picture and as far I'm aware about this subject, the synnema's conidiophore are long enough to exclude Gibellula leiopus. So, I think we can name your specimen Gibellula pulchra. Regards. ----Abalg (talk) 12:14, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
