On the basis of those data, and after phylogenetic analyses, an emendation of Zygoascus hellenicus (type material is a cross of CBS 6736T×CBS 5839T) is proposed, comprising two novel anamorphic varieties, Candida steatolytica var. steatolytica (CBS 6736T) and C. steatolytica var. inositophila (CBS 5839T). A novel teleomorphic species, Zygoascus meyerae sp. nov. (type material is a cross of CBS 4099T×CBS 7521T) is described, together with two novel anamorphic varieties corresponding to it, Candida hellenica var. hellenica (CBS 4099T) and C. hellenica var. acidophila (CBS 7115T).", }
