title: Polyphasic taxonomy ofAspergillussectionCervini.
abstract: Species belonging toAspergillussectionCerviniare characterised by radiate or short columnar, fawn coloured, uniseriate conidial heads. The morphology of the taxa in this section is very similar and isolates assigned to these species are frequently misidentified. In this study, a polyphasic approach was applied using morphological characters, extrolite data, temperature profiles and partialBenA,CaMandRPB2sequences to examine the relationships within this section. Based on this taxonomic approach the sectionCerviniis resolved in ten species including six new species:A. acidohumus,A. christenseniae,A. novoguineensis,A. subnutans,A. transcarpathicusandA. wisconsinensis. A dichotomous key for the identification is provided.
