1 Check-list of Cladosporium names Frank M. DUGAN, Konstanze ...

species with anamorphs belonging to the genus Cladosporium s. str. were shown to represent
a sister clade to Mycosphaerella Johanson s. str. (with cercosporoid anamorphs), for which
the teleomorph genus Davidiella Crous & U. Braun was proposed. The results of these
examinations led to a reassessment and new phylogenetic circumscription of Cladosporium s.
str. Now we are confronted with the big task to prove the generic affinity of hundreds of
names assigned to Cladosporium and to contribute to comprehensive, monographic examinations
of the latter genus. The present annotated list is meant to be a first step towards a
monograph of Cladosporium.
List of names
This list encompasses names from SACCARDO (1882–1972), KIRK (1985), ‘Botanischer
Jahresbericht’ (Vol. 1, for 1873, to 10, for 1882) and ‘Just´s Botanischer Jahresbericht’ (Vol.
11, for 1883, to 63, for 1935), OUDEMANS (1919–1924), ‘Petrak´s Lists’ (1920–1939), ‘A
Supplement to Petrak´s List’ (1920–1939), ‘Index of Fungi’ (1940–2003), ‘Index Fungorum’
(http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/Names.asp), plus names from other sources. All taxa
which have been put into Cladosporium are alphabetically arranged, independent of their
nomenclatural status as valid, invalid, illegitime or herbarium names (if a name was found in
herbarium or other records, but no place of publication is recorded, the specific epithet is also
placed in alphabethical order within the list, along with the name of the author if known and
the source of the name (herbarium label, catalog, etc.). The name of the genus
(Cladosporium) is left out and is only cited for the synonyms.
The list provides citations for original descriptions, types, synonyms, important redescriptions
and illustrations by subsequent authors as well as commentaries. The names of authors and
their abbreviations follow KIRK (2003), and those of periodicals are from LAWRENCE et al.
(1968) and BRIDSON & SMITH (1991). Original data for the types (primarily in Latin, French,
German or Italian) are translated into English. Other highly pertinent data or comments
excerpted from SACCARDO (l.c.), ‘Index of Fungi’ and other sources are usually presented
unaltered in original languages. Type specimens and ex-type cultures are noted as such when
possible. Abbreviations of herbaria follow HOLMGREN et al. (1990) and abbreviations of
culture collections are from JONG et al. (1996). Names of accepted, already checked, true
members of Cladosporium s. str. and the current, accepted names for synonyms and excluded
taxa are printed in bold. Host range and distribution data are only given for species of the
latter category (if more specimens and records than the type collection are known).
Inconsistencies and mistakes in the quotation of names and references have often been
encounted in the original publications inspected. Therefore, we have tried to find and examine
the original papers whenever possible (checked original publications are marked by ‘!’).
PFISTER (1985) and STAFLEU & COWAN (1976–1988) list herbaria containing specified sets of
exsiccatae. KOHLMEYER (1962) was consulted with reference to specimens from Rabenhorst.
STEVENSON (1971) was an important source of data dealing with the publication of numerous
exsiccatae.
