Six new species of the yeast genus Candida are described from their unique nucleotide sequences in the D1/D2 domain of 26S rDNA. Five of these species form a clade with Candida tanzawaensis , and the sixth is basal to this group. The new species and their sources of isolation are the following: Candida ambrosiae (type strain NRRL YB‐1316, CBS 8844), from insect frass, rotted wood and mushroom fruiting bodies; Candida canberraensis (type strain NRRL YB‐2417, CBS 8846), from soil; Candida caryicola (type strain NRRL YB‐1499, CBS 8847), from a pignut hickory tree; Candida prunicola (type strain NRRL YB‐869, CBS 8848), from exuded gum of a black cherry tree; Candida pyralidae (type strain NRRL Y‐27085, CBS 5035), from insect frass; Candida xylopsoci (type strain NRRL Y‐27066, CBS 6037), from insect frass.
