SUMMARY
Type strains of Arachniotus indicus and A. indicus var. major were examined. Both isolates proved to represent Talaromyces (Penicillium) vermiculatus (Dang.) C. R. Benjamin. The re-identification was based on the presence of a penicillate conidial state. In addition, both isolates possessed gametangial initials and ascocarp and ascospore characters closely associated with T. vermiculatus.
