From chaos to tranquillity: a modern approach to the identification, nomenclature and phylogeny of <i>Aspergillus</i>, <i>Penicillium</i> and other <i>Eurotiales</i>, including an updated accepted species list.

ABSTRACT: Eurotiales is a diverse and speciose order and includes economically important genera like Aspergillus, Penicillium, Paecilomyces and Talaromyces. Historically, species identifications based on morphology are challenging. The publication of accepted species lists and the availability of representative DNA sequences for type strains have contributed greatly towards accurate species identification and facilitated the description of many new species. However, despite current advancements, a proportion of newly described species within these taxonomically challenging genera represent, in fact, existing species, which raises obvious concerns. This study thus aimed to further modernise the taxonomy of Eurotiales by addressing key challenges in species id
