Notes.

No living culture associated with the holotype (BPI 595910) or isotype (BPI 595914) of L. olivaceapini exists. However, T. Hinds, a collaborator of R.W. Davidson and later curator of the RWD culture collection, provided an isolate (COLO 479) labeled as C. olivaceapini to M.J. Wingfield, who later deposited this in the CBS (CBS 504.86). The species name and origin provided by Hinds with the isolate corresponds to a second specimen mentioned by Davidson (1971, p. 10) in the protologue (RWD 581-D = BPI 596223). In our opinion, the isolate (COLO 479) most probably originated from the specimen (RWD 581-D). We could not confirm with certainty that BPI 296223 originated from RWD 581-D and thus designated a dried culture of COLO 479 as the epitype for L. olivaceapini .
