Filamentous fungi in the genus Colletotrichum are destructive pathogens that cause disease and crop losses in plants worldwide. Taxonomy and nomenclature in the group is confusing, even to scientists working in the field, and inaccurate diagnosis of species is not uncommon. In this review, we provide a overview of the 66 Colletotrichum names that are in common use, and the 19 recently used names which are regarded as doubtful. This paper represents the first comprehensive overview of the genus in 17 years, and is the first summary treatment of Colletotrichum to incorporate data generated through DNA analysis and phylogenetic systematics. Species are listed alphabetically and annotated with their taxonomic entry, teleomorph, hosts and disease, brief summaries of taxonomic and phylogenetic research, and outstanding issues for the genus that are neccesary to stabilize species names. Sequence data and type culture collection resources are also summarized. The paper serves to provide a new starting point for usage of current names in Colletotrichum and indicates future work needed

Colletotrichum Species on Orchidaceae in Southwest China (2011, background): “…Scalia have been also previously reported to infect Orchidaceae (Allescher et al., 1902; Patel et al., 1953; von Arx, 1957; Farr & Rossman, 2010) (Table 4), however, these names have not been used in the scientific literature over the past several decades (Sutton, 1980, 1992; Hyde et al., 2009).”
The Colletotrichum gloeosporioides species complex (2012, background): “…Capsicum reported by Than et al. (2008) as C. gloeosporioides Morphological Group 2 (e.g. isolates Ku4 = ICMP 18575 and Ku8 = ICMP 18618), were referred to as C. asianum by Hyde et al. (2009), however they are genetically distinct from C. asianum and belong to C. siamense based on our analyses.”
