Beschreibung:
The genus Neocosmospora (Fusarium solani species complex) contains saprobes, plant endophytes
\nand pathogens of major economic significance as well as opportunistic animal pathogens. Advances in biological
\nand phylogenetic species recognition revealed a rich species diversity which has largely remained understudied.
\nMost of the currently recognised species lack formal descriptions and Latin names, while the taxonomic utility of old
\nnames is hampered by the lack of nomenclatural type specimens. Therefore, to stabilise the taxonomy and nomenclature of these important taxa, we examined type specimens and representative cultures of several old names by
\nmeans of morphology and phylogenetic analyses based on rDNA (ITS and LSU), rpb2 and tef1 sequences. Sixtyeight species are accepted in Neocosmospora, 29 of them described herein as new; while 13 new combinations
\nare made. Eleven additional phylogenetic species are recognized, but remain as yet undescribed. Lectotypes are
\nproposed for eight species, seven species are epitypified and two species are neotypified. Notes on an additional
\n17 doubtful or excluded taxa are provided.
