Notes

S. subsimplex is a well defined species. There is no extype culture available. Thus, Haugland et al. (2001) proposed ATCC 32888 as an epitype strain for S. subsimplex. However, this proposal is questionable.ATCC 32888 was deposited as M. echinata. Its conidia are 5–7 μm diam., which is in between those of S. echinata and S. subsimplex. The morphological characters of its conidia do not fit those of type specimen IMI 10941.
