Rhizophagus quercus Gistel, 1857: 534 [22], 539 [27].

Type material. NEOTYPE: J, ‘Reichenhall Umg. / 14.IV.1967 / leg. H. Freude // Neotypus / Rhizophagus / quercus Gistel, 1857 / des. Jelínek & Audisio, 2007 // Rh. / bipustulat. / det. Vogt 1967 / Rhizophagus / bipustulatus (F.) / det. J. Jelínek, 2007’.

Two identical descriptions of Rhizophagus quercus appeared on pages 534 [22] and 539 [27] in GISTEL (1857). The description fits well Rhizophagus bipustulatus Fabricius, 1792 . Therefore, R. quercus Gistel, 1857 is considered as a junior synonym of Rhizophagus bipustulatus Fabricius, 1792 .
