FIGURE 2. Ophiocordyceps camponoti-atricipis a) Single stroma, characteristic of Ophiocordyceps unilateralis sensu lato, with a single lateral ascoma, arising anteriorly from pronotum of Camponotus atriceps, firmly attached to the edge of the leaf (bar = 3 mm); b) Detail of fertile region (ascoma) (bar = 0.8 mm); c) Section through ascoma showing the mainly immersed perithecial arrangement (bar = 200 μm); d) Ascospore with a needle-like outgrowth (capilliconidiophore) producing terminal conidium (bar = 20 μm); e) Close-up of conidium (bar = 10 μm); f) Close-up of perithecium (bar = 50 μm); g) Ascus, clavate in shape and with a prominent cap (bar = 20 μm); h) Section of upper part of stroma showing asexual morph (Hirsutella-like A type), with a palisade of subulate phialides (bar = 10 μm) Images: João Araújo.
