Abstract
During a survey of mycobiota inhabiting guts of red palm weevil (Rhynchophorus ferrugineus) in Assiut area of Egypt, two interesting yeast isolates were obtained from 2 different gut samples (out of 11 gut samples investigated). Two isolates were identified phenotypically and genotypically with 87% ITS sequencing similarities with the type strain Reniforma strues. The name Reniforma rhynchophori was assigned for the new species. The two strains were deposited in Assiut University Mycological Centre Culture Collection and AUMC numbers 10263T (as the type strain) and AUMC 10264 were given. The ITS gene sequences for AUMC 10263T & AUMC 10264 were also deposited at the National Center for Biotechnological Information (NCBI) and accession numbers are given as KX011609 and KX015891 respectively. Full description and photos of the new species are presented. This new species was recorded as the second species of the genus Reniforma.
