Abstract

A new species,Saccharomycopsis crataegensis, is described. The species is heterothallic and forms ellipsoidal ascospores with a single median longitudinal ledge. Strains of the species were isolated from grapes and hawthorne fruit obtained in Peoria, Illinois U.S.A. A comparison was made betweenS. crataegensis andS. vini, which included new strains of the latter species from hawthorne fruit.
