The genus was circumscribed by Heinrich Friedrich Link in 1809.[3]
Because of nomenclatural changes brought about by one fungus one name, most of the species formerly placed in Eurotium have been transferred to Aspergillus.[4] As of October 2023[update], Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts four species of Eurotium:[2]
- Eurotium acutum Blaser (1976)
- Eurotium carnoyi Malloch & Cain (1972)
- Eurotium lateritium Mont. (1849)
- Eurotium microsporum Massee & E.S.Salmon (1901)
