Abstract

The main reasons for instability in names in Aspergillus and Penicillium are reviewed, emphasizing the differences between those due to nomenclatural and taxonomic changes. Attention is drawn to the options now available under the Code for the conservation or rejection of names in the rank of species, including the conservation of types. Recent international initiatives to improve the stability of names are summarized, but in the final analysis taxonomic responsibility towards users is crucial. Rapidly published peer reviews by internationally established panels of specialists may assume increasing importance in the future.
