In the published version of the article “New studies on Apiospora (Amphisphaeriales, Apiosporaceae): epitypification of Sphaeriaapiospora, proposal of Ap.marianiae sp. nov. and description of the asexual morph of Ap.sichuanensis” by Pintos & Alvarado, MycoKeys 92: 63–78 (2022) the culture designated as holotype of Apiosporamarianiae was not indicated as being preserved in a metabolically inactive state. As a consequence, the proposed new species name is invalid due to Art. 40.8 of the Shenzhen Code (Turland et al. 2018).
The species is validated herein:
Apiosporamarianiae Pintos & P. Alvarado, sp. nov. MB 845455 For a detailed description see: Pintos & Alvarado, MycoKeys 92: 70 (2022). Holotype: CBS 148710 (preserved in a metabolically inactive state).
In addition, the epitypification of Sphaeriaapiospora was published without an identifier and is therefore not Code compliant (Art. F.5.4, Shenzhen Code).
Here, we designate the epitype again:
Apiosporamontagnei Sacc., Nuovo Giorn. Bot. Ital. 7: 306 (1875). Replaced synonym: Sphaeriaapiospora Durieu & Mont., Exploration scientifique de l’Algérie 1(13): 482, tab. 25, fig. 1 (1849)
Supported lectotype: PC 0125160.
Epitype (designated here, MBT 10008889): Spain, Catalonia, Girona, L’Escala, 42°07’06.5”N 3°09’01.0”E, on dead culms of Arundomicrantha, 30 Nov. 2020, Marc Grañem, PC 0125164; exepitype CBS 148707.
