A new Aspergillus species, A. keveioides (AS3.15305T=CBS 132737) was isolated from soil in Shandong Province, China. Morphologically, it resembles A. pseudodeflectus, A. germanicus, A. insuetus, A. keveii and A. thesauricus, but is readily different from them by sparse sporulation, smooth and warty stipe walls with conspicuous concretions, and globose warty conidia. The analyses of partial calmodulin gene (CaM), β-tubulin gene (BenA) and rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 sequence data showed that although A. keveioides was accommodated in the clade with A. keveii, A. insuetus, A. germanicus and A. thesauricus, it is distinctive and lack close relatives among described species of Aspergillus sect.
