Neotypification and emended description of Fusarium anguioides

Abstract

The species Fusarium anguioides is discussed and the problems resulting from the lack of type or culture material are described. The reasons for neotypification and emending the species description are the absence of type or culture material and the illustrations of polyphialides in the original description. The neotype chosen for F. anguioides is a culture from soil from a bamboo grove from China and the neotype and isoneotype have been deposited. Lyophilized cultures have been deposited in appropriate culture collections.
