A phylogenetic analysis based on the D1\/D2 region of the large-subunit rRNA gene showed that all isolates clustered as a single separate lineage within the <jats:italic>Wickerhamomyces<\/jats:italic> clade. They exhibited distinct morphological and physiological characteristics and were clearly separated from their closest relatives, <jats:italic>Wickerhamomyces lynferdii<\/jats:italic>, <jats:italic>Wickerhamomyces anomalus<\/jats:italic> and <jats:italic>Wickerhamomyces subpelliculosus<\/jats:italic>, in <jats:sc>blastn<\/jats:sc> searches. On the basis of the isolation source, physiological features and molecular strain typing carried out with randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD)-PCR and minisatellite-primed (MSP)-PCR analysis, the isolates were identified as strains of the same species. The name <jats:italic>Wickerhamomyces sylviae<\/jats:italic> f.a., sp. nov. is proposed to accommodate these novel strains; the type strain is U88A2<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup> (\u200a=\u200aPYCC 6345<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>\u200a=\u200aCBS 12888<jats:sup>T<\/jats:sup>).
