Summary
After a historical survey, the genus Aspergillus Mich. ex Link: Fr. is lectotypified by Aspergillus glaucus (Mich. ex L.: Fr.) Link. The monotype of the associated teleomorph-genus Eurotium Link: Fr. is Eurotium herbariorum (Wiggers: Fr.) Link. Two specimens preserved in Persoon’s herbarium in Leiden as Mucor herbariorum agree with the present concept of this species but none of them can be considered as a holotype of the species. Hence Malloch and Cain’s designation of a neo-type (DAOM 137960) with an associated living culture (CBS 516.65 = ATCC 16469) can be upheld. For the anamorph two specimens are preserved in Persoon’s herbarium too, which are not sufficiently representative, so that the above-mentioned specimen listed as type for the anamorph A. glaucus by Blaser can be recognized. Typification of the remaining teleomorph genera does not present problems.
