Analysis of yeasts isolated from various biotopes in French Guiana led to the identification two strains flowers and designated CLIB 1634T 1707T. Comparison D1/D2 domain large subunit (LSU D1/D2) rRNA gene sequences 1707T those GenBank database revealed that these belong Starmerella clade. Strain was shown diverge closely related apicola type strain CBS 2868T with a sequence divergence 1.34 1.30 %, LSU internal transcribed spacer (ITS) respectively. Candida diverged by 3.81 14.96 % at level protein-coding partial EF-1α RPB2, found have 3.88 9.16 ITS, respectively, most species ratchasimensis 10611T. The reginensis f.a., sp. nov. kourouensis are proposed accommodate (=CBS 15247T) 15257T),
