, on spider (
Araneae

), 12 December 1991, N.L. Hywel-Jones, NHJ 666.01 holotype.
Description and illustration.
See
Hywel-Jones (1996)
.
Host.
Spider (
Araneae
,
Salticidae
).
Habitat.
Specimens were found on the underside of dicot leaves of forest plants.
Notes.
Both
Parahevansia koratensis
and
H. novoguineensis
occur on spiders and both produce white mycelium with reddish pigment diffusing in agar media (
Hywel-Jones 1996
). However, the sporulation of
H. novoguineensis
is produced on media, while no sporulation on media in
Pa. koratensis
was observed. Based on the phylogenetic tree (Fig.
1
), NHJ 2662 clustered with the ex-type strain NHJ 666.01 of
Pa. koratensis
. The insect host of the strain NHJ 2662 was recorded as a
Lepidoptera
larva. This result shows that
Pa. koratensis
is parasitic on spiders and
Lepidoptera
larva.
