Abstract
Fusarium acuminatum subsp. armeniacum is raised to species rank becoming F. armeniacum stat. nov. This revision is made on the basis of comparative da ta from studies on the toxicology and karyotype of the two subspecies of F. acuminatum, subsp. acuminatum and subsp. armeniacum and studies on their g enetic affinity using isozyme and RAPD analysis. As a consequence F. acumin atum subsp. acuminatum is accorded species status.
