International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology. <br><b>Abstract:</b> <i>Sporobolomyces lactosus </i>is a pink yeast-like fungus that is not congeneric with other members of <i>Sporobolomyces </i>(Basidiomycota, Microbotryomycetes, Sporidiobolales). During our ongoing studies of pink yeasts we determined that <i>S. lactosus </i>was most closely related to <i>Pseudeurotium zonatum </i>(Ascomycota, Leotiomycetes, Thelebolales). A molecular phylogenetic analysis using sequences of the ITS region and the small and large subunit (SSU, LSU) rRNA genes, indicated that four isolates of <i>S. lactosus</i>, including three ex-type isolates, were placed in Thelebolales with maximum support. A new genus is proposed to accommodate <i>S. lactosus</i>, <i>Inopinatum</i>. This is the first pink yeast reported in Leotiomycetes.
