Analysis of nucleotide sequences from the domains 1 and 2 of the large‐subunit rDNA demonstrated species of the Pichia fluxuum clade to be phylogenetically isolated, and domains 1 and 2 and internal transcribed spacer rDNA sequence analyses of strains phenotypically identified as P. fluxuum resulted in the discovery of three new species. From this work, the following new genus, new species, and new combinations are proposed: Kregervanrija gen. nov.; type species Kregervanrija fluxuum comb. nov. (type strain NRRL YB‐4273 , CBS 2287 ); Kregervanrija delftensis comb. nov. (type strain NRRL Y‐7119 , CBS 2614 ); Kregervanrija pseudodelftensis sp. nov. (type strain NRRL Y‐5494 , CBS 10105 ); Saturnispora besseyi comb. nov. (NRRL YB‐4711 , CBS 6343 ); Saturnispora mendoncae sp. nov. (type strain NRRL Y‐11515 , CBS 5620 ); and Candida abiesophila sp. nov. (type strain NRRL Y‐11514 , CBS 5366 ).
