We propose that C. apis var. galacta should be elevated to species level and named Candida galacta comb. nov. The type strain of this species is strain CBS 6939 (= NRIC [Nodai Research Institute Culture Collection, Tokyo University of Agriculture, Tokyo, Japan] 1910 = CCRC [Culture Collection and Research Center, Food Industry Research and Development Institute, Taiwan, Republic of China] 22278 = IFO 10031). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-43-1-183
