Ceratocystis paradoxa and Thielaviopsis thielavioides
This nomenclature report is based primarily on Paulin-Mahady et al. (2002), with reference also to Nag Raj & Kendrick (1975). Paulin-Mahady et al. (2002)consider the currently accepted name for Chalara paradoxato beThielaviopsis paradoxa (De Seynes) Höhn. 1904. Due to the similarity of the names, there is some potential for confusion with Chalara thielavioides (Peyronel) Nag Raj & Kendr. 1975; this is not considered to be a synonym of Thielaviopsis paradoxa (De Seynes) Höhn. 1904. Paulin-Mahady et al. (2002) transferred C. thielavioides to the new genus Thielaviopsis as Thielaviopsis thielavioides (Peyr.) A.E. Paulin, T.C. Harr. & McNew 2002 (see nomenclature reports below).
