Two yeast species, Papiliotrema leoncinii sp. nov. and miconiae nov., in the family Rhynchogastremataceae of Tremellales are proposed. The two species related to six genus Papiliotrema: aureus, P. flavescens, terrestris, baii, ruineniae wisconsinensis. novel proposed on basis sequence-based phylogenetic concept with analysis D1/D2 region large subunit (LSU) rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region. A total 16 strains were obtained from freshwater bromeliad leaves collected Brazil. differs by 11, 12, 16, 14, 11 13 substitutions domain wisconsinensis, respectively. Differences 21 or more ITS regions found when sequences compared wisconsinensis its closest relatives. type strain is UFMG-CM-Y374T (=CBS 13918T). represented isolated a flower Miconia water sample aureus eight substitutions, flavescens terrestris baii 10 6 domain, 7 than 19 CBS 8358T (ML 3666T=DBVPG-4492T).
