Article Abstract
Two strains (AHD129-1 and AHD129-2) of a new anamorphic yeast species were isolated from Mejare cave soil samples of Abdanan, Ilam, Iran. Nucleotide divergence in the D1/D2 domain of the large subunit (LSU) rRNA, and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) genes suggest that the two strains can be assigned to the Trichomonascus/Blastobotrys clade. A maximum likelihood tree based on sequences of the D1/D2 domain revealed that the new species is closely related to the species Trichomonascus ciferrii, Candida allociferrii, and Candida mucifera. The new species could be distinguished from the closely related species by its ability to grow at 42 °C and the inability to assimilate D-arabinose and D-mannitol. The name B. persicus sp. nov. is proposed for the new anamorphic species. The type strain of B. persicus is AHD129-1 = IBRC-M30238 = CBS 14259, and the Mycobank number is MB 819148.

Vachon, 1950, with nine described species, is a genus of digger scorpions in the Buthidae family, which can be distinguished by having large tooth-like processes on the ventrosubmedian carinae of the second and third metasomal segments. Morphological and molecular investigation of coastal specimens from the Hormozgan province in Iran led to the discovery of a new species named sp. nov.
