FIGURE 5. Sporodochial layers CLSM. A. Upper region (UR), Sporogenous Region composed of a phialidic hymenium (SR), Basal region (BR) composed of haustorial mother cells and subhymenial layer that gives rise to SR. B. Basal most layer above insect cuticle 4-5 rows thick. White circle indicates thick haustorial mother cells that give rise to a subcuticular layer of haustoria that penetrates the host cuticle. White arrows indicate major penetration points between T. hexasporodochia sp. nov. and host cuticle. C. Confocal stack of tetralocular junctures between host cuticle and parasite.
