Abstract

Twenty taxa of Cordyceps s. l. (belonging to three genera in the latest taxonomic system) from Cicadidae had been described by Kobayasi and Shimizu. Among them, 13 holotype specimens of Cordyceps were rediscovered from preserved specimens partially without ordering, and their registration numbers (TNS-F-number) were given: viz. (1) Elaphocordyceps inegoensis TNS-F-230289, (2) Elaphocordyceps paradoxa TNS-F-230313, (3) Elaphocordyceps toriharamontana TNS-F-230288, (4) Ophiocordyceps heteropoda TNS-F-230294, (5) Ophiocordyceps longissima TNS-F-230285, (6) Ophiocordyceps prolifica f. terminalis TNS-F-230295, (7) Ophiocordyceps pseudolongissima TNS-F-197983, (8) Ophiocordyceps takaoensis TNS-F-3026, (9) Cordyceps kanzashiana TNS-F-198015, (10) Cordyceps kobayasii Koval’ (≡C. sinclairii Kobayasi, not C. sinclairii Berk.) TNS-F-212384, (11) Cordyceps minuta TNS-F-11933, (12) Cordyceps ramosopulvinata TNS-F-197979, and (13) Cordyceps ryogamimontana TNS-F-230292. Two specimens were selected as lectotype: viz. (14) Ophiocordyceps prolifica TNS-F-230300 and (15) Ophiocordyceps yakusimensis TNS-F-230287. A paratype specimen of (16) Cordyceps pleuricapitata TNS-F-197965, and an authentic specimen of (17) Cordyceps imagamiana TNS-F-197966, were also rediscovered.
