The novel species Metschnikowia shivogae is described to accommodate three isolates recovered from insects of morning glory flowers at two localities in East Africa. The isolates differ slightly in rDNA ITS and D1/D2 large-subunit sequences and one isolate featured a two-base heterogeneity that might be the result of recombination between two variant rDNAs. M. shivogae is a sister species to Metschnikowia aberdeeniae and shares the same habitat. The reproductive boundaries of M. aberdeeniae, which were not clear in the past, have now been elucidated further. The type strain of Metschnikowia shivogae sp. nov. is strain SUB 04-310.1(T) (h(+); =CBS 10292(T) =NRRL Y-27924(T)) and the allotype is strain UWOPS 07-203.2 (h(-); =CBS 10770 =NRRL Y-48447).
新物种希沃加梅奇尼科夫酵母（Metschnikowia shivogae）被描述为容纳从东非两个地点的牵牛花昆虫中分离出的三个菌株。这些菌株在核糖体DNA内转录间隔区（rDNA ITS）和D1/D2大亚基序列上略有不同，其中一个菌株具有两个碱基的异质性，这可能是两个变异rDNA之间重组的结果。希沃加梅奇尼科夫酵母是阿伯德尼亚梅奇尼科夫酵母（Metschnikowia aberdeeniae）的姐妹物种，且共享相同的栖息地。过去尚不清楚的阿伯德尼亚梅奇尼科夫酵母的生殖界限，现在已得到进一步阐明。希沃加梅奇尼科夫酵母新种（Metschnikowia shivogae sp. nov.）的模式菌株是菌株SUB 04-310.1(T)（h(+)；=CBS 10292(T)=NRRL Y-27924(T)），异型模式菌株是菌株UWOPS 07-203.2（h(-)；=CBS 10770=NRRL Y-48447）。
