Numerous studies have shown that Colletotrichum acutatum is a species complex. The code COLLAC has been kept to describe this species complex and a new code for C. acutatum sensu stricto has been created (COLLAZ).
It should also be noted that C. acutatum sensu lato has been regulated mainly because of the disease it causes on strawberry, but that in the light of the new taxonomy, other Colletotrichum within the C. acutatum species complex (e.g. C. godetiae, C. fioriniae, C. nymphae, C. simmondsii) or the C. dematium species complex (e.g. C. anthrisci, C. lineola) are causing anthracnose of strawberry.
Colletotrichum xanthii has in the past been considered as a synonym of C. acutatum. However, there are no living strains available and the taxonomic position of this species is unclear (Damm et al., 2012).
