Sequence analysis of the ITS-5.8S region (when available) and the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit of the rRNA gene showed that the six novel yeasts are phylogenetically related to several species of the Starmerella clade. The type strains are Starmerella camargoi f.a., sp. nov. UFMG-CM-Y595T (=CBS 14130T; Mycobank number MB 822640), Starmerella ilheusensis f.a., sp. nov. UFMG-CM-Y596T (=CBS CBS14131T; MB 822641), Starmerella litoralis f.a., sp. nov. UFMG-CM-Y603T (=CBS14104T; MB 822642), Starmerella opuntiae f.a., sp. nov. UFMG-CM-Y286T (=CBS 13466T; MB 822643), Starmerella roubikii f.a., sp. nov. UWOPS 01–191.1 (=CBS 15148; MB 822645) and Starmerella vitae f.a., sp. nov. UWOPS 00–107.2 (=CBS 15147T; MB 822646). In addition, 25 species currently assigned to the genus Candida are reassigned formally to the genus Starmerella. , language=, type=
