In a recently published paper, ‘Neotypification of Aspiciliella cupreoglauca and lectotypification and synonymization of Aspicilia reticulata (Megasporaceae, Ascomycota)’ (Zakeri et al. Reference Zakeri, Sipman, Paukov and Otte2019), we designated a neotype for Aspiciliella cupreoglauca and a lectotype for Aspicilia reticulata. This paper was published in 2019, but these designations were not valid because from 1 January 2019 onwards, typifications have to be accompanied by a registration number (Turland et al. Reference Turland, Wiersema, Barrie, Greuter, Hawksworth, Herendeen, Knapp, Kusber, Li and Marhold2018). We therefore validate these typifications here, by providing the necessary registration numbers:
Aspiciliella cupreoglauca (B. de Lesd.) Zakeri, Divakar & Otte
