Among the ballistoconidium‐forming yeast strains isolated from various plant leaves collected in North and Northeast China, 12 strains forming orange to orange‐red colored colonies were revealed to represent four novel species of the genus Sporobolomyces by conventional, chemotaxonomic and molecular phylogenetic studies, based on the 26S‐rDNA D1/D2 domain and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region sequences. Sporobolomyces beijingensis sp. nov., represented by eight strains (type strain CB 80 T =AS 2.2365 T =CBS 9730 T ), and Sporobolomyces jilinensis sp. nov., represented by two strains (type strain CB 118 T =AS 2.2301 T =CBS 9728 T ), clustered in the Johnsonii clade of the Sporidiobolus lineage. Sporobolomyces clavatus sp. nov., represented by strain CB 281 T (=AS 2.2318 T =CBS 9729 T ), belonged to the Agaricostilbum lineage and showed a close relationship to Sporobolomyces ruber and Sporobolomyces dracophylli . Sporobolomyces symmetricus sp. nov., represented by strain CB 64 T (= AS 2.2299 T =CBS 9727 T ), formed nearly symmetrical ballistoconidia and was closely related with Sporobolomyces vermiculatus and Sporobolomyces gracilis in the Gracilis clade of the Erythrobasidium lineage.
