Ophiocordyceps camponoti-novogranadensis
Ophiocordyceps camponoti-novogranadensis is a species of fungus that parasitizes insect hosts, in particular members of the order Hymenoptera. It was first isolated from Parque Estadual de Itacolomi in Ouro Preto, at an altitude of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft), on Camponotus novogranadensis.

Description
Its mycelium is a chocolate brown colour, and is especially dense around its feet, forming distinctive pads. Its stromatal morphology is the same as O. camponotirufipedis. Its fertile region is brown, its ascomata being semi-erumpent and crowded. The asci are 8-spored, hyaline and cylindrical, with a prominent apical cap, while the ascospores are hyaline, thin-walled, and 5–10-septate.
