AB  - During a survey of soil fungi in Yunnan Province, several isolates of <i>Aspergillus</i> were obtained. Based on morphology and molecular analyses of internal transcribed spacer regions and intervening 5.8S nrRNA gene (ITS), β-tubulin and calmodulin (CaM) genes sequences, two isolates were identified as <i>Aspergillus vadensis</i> (section <i>Nigri</i>). A phylogenetic tree, detailed descriptions, illustrations and scanned electron microscopy morphology are provided for the new isolates. This is the first record of <i>A. vadensis</i> from China.
