It has also been reported on insects from Southern 

 Europe, and on Chionaspii citri from Dominica, St. 

 Lucia, St. Vincent, and Grenada. 



The diseased insects die, become dry and easily 

 detached. The fungus forms a very small, red, more or 

 less elongated out-growth from one end of the insect, on 

 the upper surface of which numerous conidia spores are 

 borne. This outgrowth eventually becomes darker red 

 in colour and produces a red stroma on which numerous 

 small, hemispherical perithecia are produced. The 

 fungus is inconspicuous, and is capable of destroying a 

 very large number of insects without being noted by 

 the casual observer.
