Physiological characters, mating compatibility, PCR-RAPD fingerprints, mol% G+C content, DNA–DNA relatedness, and large-subunit and internal transcribed spacer rRNA gene sequences of strains assigned to the genus Zygoascus were re-examined. On the basis of those data, and after phylogenetic analyses, an emendation of Zygoascus hellenicus (type material is a cross of CBS 6736^TxCBS 5839^T) is proposed, comprising two novel anamorphic varieties, Candida steatolytica var. steatolytica (CBS 6736^T) and C. steatolytica var. inositophila (CBS 5839^T). A novel teleomorphic species, Zygoascus meyerae sp. nov. (type material is a cross of CBS 4099^TxCBS 7521^T) is described, together with two novel anamorphic varieties corresponding to it, Candida hellenica var. hellenica (CBS 4099^T) and C. hellenica var. acidophila (CBS 7115^T).
