The taxonomy and nomenclature of the genus Aspergillus and its associated sexual (teleomorphic) genera have been greatly stabilised over the last decade. This was in large thanks to the accepted species list published in 2014 and associated metadata such as DNA reference sequences released at the time. It had a great impact on the community and it has never been easier to identify, publish and describe the missing Aspergillus diversity. To further stabilise its taxonomy, it is crucial to not only discover and publish new species but also to capture infraspecies variation in the form of DNA sequences. This data will help to better characterise and distinguish existing species and make future identifications more robust. South Africa has diverse fungal communities but remains largely unexplored in terms of Aspergillus with very few sequences available for local strains. In this paper, we re-identify Aspergillus previously accessioned in the PPRI and MRC culture collections using modern taxonomic approaches. In the process, we re-identify strains to 63 species, describe seven new species and release a large number of new DNA reference sequences.

曲霉属及其相关有性（有性）属的分类和命名在过去十年中已经大大稳定。这在很大程度上要归功于 2014 年发布的公认物种清单以及当时发布的 DNA 参考序列等相关元数据。它对社区产生了巨大影响，识别、发布和描述缺失的曲霉多样性从未如此简单。为了进一步稳定其分类，不仅发现和发布新物种，而且以 DNA 序列的形式捕获种内变异也至关重要。这些数据将有助于更好地描述和区分现有物种，并使未来的识别更加可靠。南非拥有多样化的真菌群落，但在曲霉方面仍然很大程度上未经探索，当地菌株的可用序列很少。在本文中，我们使用现代分类学方法重新鉴定了之前加入 PPRI 和 MRC 培养物保藏中心的曲霉菌。在此过程中，我们重新鉴定了63个物种的菌株，描述了7个新物种，并发布了大量新的DNA参考序列。
