It is from the Ochraceorosei section.[2] The species was first described in 1979.[1] It has been isolated from soil in the Tai National Forest in the Ivory Coast.[2] It has been shown to produce aflatoxin and sterigmatocystin.[2]
In 2014, the genome of A. ochraceoroseus was sequenced as a part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project - a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the genus Aspergillus.[3][4] The genome assembly size was 27.72 Mbp.[4]
