Information concerning molecular reidentification of the species of the rejected genus Chlamydozyma is generalized. The yeasts Chl. pulcherrima Wickerham (1964) and Chl. reukaufii Wickerham (1964) are shown to be sibling species of Metschnikowia pulcherrima Pitt et Miller (1968) and M. reukaufii Pitt et Miller (1968), respectively. Restoration of the species M. zygota (Wickerham) Fell at Hunter (1968) is proposed. The parasexual cycle and the prospects of its application for investigation of the Metschnikowia yeasts are discussed.
