Fig. 3 in Fossil thrips of the family Uzelothripidae suggest 53 million years of morphological and ecological stability

Fig. 3. Ascomycetes found attached to the cuticle of the fossil and extant uzelothripid insects. The small panels show higher magnification images of some fossil and extant fungi found at the locations indicated by the arrows. A. Fossil apterous specimen of Uzelothrips eocenicus P. Nel and A. Nel sp. nov. The image is composed of photographs obtained from those optical sections which show the attached fungi most clearly. The arrowhead in the uppermost left panel indicates a Capnosporium−like conidium; the arrowhead in the middle right panel indicates a tapering hypha tip with dividing stage. B. Recent specimen of Uzelothrips scabrosus Hood, 1952 (reconstitution of two photographs by Laurence A. Mound, see also Mound 2011). The asterisk refers to the elongated hypha that has possibly grown on the surface of the thrips after attachment.
