title: Babjevia gen. nov.--a new genus of the Lipomycetaceae.
abstract: The species described as Lipomyces anomalus Babjeva & Gorin shows significant genetic and phenotypic divergence from the type species Lipomyces starkeyi Lodder & Kreger-van Rij in terms of rRNA base sequence substitution and ascosporal and septal ultrastructure. The species is consequently reclassified in the new, unispecific genus Babjevia, as Babjevia anomala.
