Ascocarps of Aspergillus and Penicillium

Abstract
A morphological study of the ascocarps of 29 strains of Aspergillus and Penicillium indicates that these forms comprise five genera of the Eurotiaceae. The perfect stages of Aspergillus are included in the ascomycetous genera Eurotium, Sartorya, and Emericella. Those of Penicillium are included in Carpenteles and TALAROMYCES (Gymnascaceae), the latter a new genus erected for the forms with ascocarpic walls of interwoven hyphae. In addition to the description of the new genus Talaromyces, the paper includes the following new combinations: Eurotium carnoyi (Aspergillus c. Thom and Raper), Emericella variecolor var. astellata (Aspergillus v. var. astellatus Fennell and Raper), E. quadrilineata (A. quadrilineatus Thom and Riper), E. rugulosa (A. rugulosus Thom and Raper), Talaromyces luteus (Penicillium luteum Zukal), T. avellaneus (P. avellaneum Thom and Turesson), T. striatus (P. striatum Raper and Fennell), T. wortmannii (P. w. Kloecker), T. spiculisporus (P. spiculosporum Lehman), T. rotundus (P. rotundum Raper and Fennell), T. bacillosporus (P. bacillosporum Swift), T. vermiculatus (P. vermiculatum Dangeard), T. stipitatus (P. stipitatum Thom), T. heliscus (P. helicum Raper and Fennell), Carpenteles levitum (P. l. Raper and Fennell).
