Six yeast strains representing two novel Wickerhamiella species were isolated from plants and insects collected in Costa Rica, Brazil, and French Guiana. They belong to a subclade containing Wickerhamiella domercqiae and Wickerhamiella bombiphila, and differ by approximately 12 % in the D1 /D2 sequences of the large subunit rRNA gene from these species. The intergenic spacer (ITS) regions of the two novel species differ by around 19 and 27%, respectively, from those of W. domercqiae. The novel species exhibit 5 % divergence in the D1 /D2 sequences among them (around 4 % in the ITS). The names Wickerhamiella dianesei f.a., sp. nov. and Wickerhamiella kurtzmanii f.a., sp. nov. are proposed to accommodate these species, for which a sexual cycle has not been observed. Wickerhamiella dianesei was isolated from the stingless bee, Trigona fulviventris, collected in an Asteraceae flower in Costa Rica, and from leaves of Sabicea brasiliensis (Rubiaceae) and a flower of Byrsonima crassifolia (Malpighiaceae) in Brazil. Wickerhamiellsa kurtzmanii was isolated from a flower of Ipomoea batatoides (Convolvulaceae) in Costa Rica, the surface of a fruit of B. crassifolia in Brazil, and flowers in French Guiana. The type strains are Wickerhamiella dianesei UWOPS 00-107.1(T) (=CBS 14185=NRRL Y-63789; Mycobank number MB 827008) and Wickerhamiella kurtzmanii UWOPS 00-192.1(T) (=CBS 15383=NRRL Y-63979; MB 827011).
