Eimeria lemuris n. sp., E. galago n. sp. and E. otolicni n. sp. from a Galago Galago senegalensis

SYNOPSIS. Three new species of Eimeria are described from the intestinal contents of a galago Galago senegalensis E. Geoff. imported into the Amsterdam Zoo from Africa. The oocysts of E. lemuris n.sp. are 44-57 by 38-47 μ and contain 4 sporocysts measuring 17-20 by 10.5–14 μ. The oocysts of E. galago n.sp. are 20-25 by 19-23 μ and contain 4 sporocysts measuring 9-12 by 6-9 μ. The oocysts of E. otolicni n.sp. are 23-31 by 22-28 μ and contain 4 sporocysts measuring 10-15 by 8-12 μ. A few Isospora resembling I. arctopitheci Rodhain, 1933 were seen.     

Two newCandida species:Candida chilensis sp.n. andCandida valdiviana sp.n.

Two new nitrate-assimilating yeasts isolated from decomposed wood ofNothofagus sp. are described. The namesCandida chilensis andCandida valdiviana are proposed.A table is given of the assimilation and fermentation reactions of the currently acceptedCandida species that use nitrate as the sole source of nitrogen.Candida koshuensis was not validly described so the nameCandida boidinii must be accepted for this species.The work done at the Universidad Austral de Chile had financial support of the Comisión Nacional de Investigatión Científica y Technológica (Proyecto No. 151).     

Penicillium korosum sp.n.

A new species ofPenicillium belonging to theP.funiculosum series of the Biverticillata — Symmetrica section is described from the rhizosphere ofBrassica campestris var.toria. The species is characterized by the presence of penicilli with 8–12 metulae on malt-extract agar and a very limited sporulation on Czapek-Dox agar. The species is namedPenicillium korosum on account of its broom-like penicilli.The authors are grateful to Prof. Kenneth B. Raper, Dr. Amelia Stolk and Dr. D. B. Prest for valuable comments, to Rev. Fr. Prof. Dr. Santapau and Fr. Ignatius Menezes for latinizing the specific diagnosis and to the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India, for financial assistance.     

Brettanomyces abstinens sp.n.

A new yeast is described,Brettanomyces abstinens, isolated from ginger ale in the U.S.A. This species differs from all the presently acceptedBrettanomyces species by not assimilating trehalose.

Candida steatolytica sp.n.

A new yeast species is described,C. steatolytica, which strongly hydrolizes fat and grows withi-inositol as the sole source of carbon. OtherCandida species capable of usingi-inositol are compared and their classification discussed.C. nivalis andC. frigida are considered to be synonymous withC. curiosa andC. curvata withC. humicola. C. punicea produces ballistospores and must be rejected from the genusCandida.I would like to express my thanks to Dr. J. P. van der Walt for the opportunity of studying this species and for suggesting the specific epithet.
