title: Synonymy of the yeast genera Wingea and Debaryomyces.
abstract: Extent of divergence in partial nucleotide sequences from large and small subunit ribosomal RNAs was used to estimate the evolutionary relationship between the genera Wingea and Debaryomyces. These data showed the monotypic genus Wingea to be congeneric with Debaryomyces, and it is proposed to transfer W. robertsii to Debaryomyces.
