  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We determined 1,600 base pairs of DNA sequence in the 18S small ribosomal subunit from two geographically distinct isolates of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Dermosporidium penneri&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Maximum likelihood and parsimony analysis of these sequences place&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;D. penneri&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the order Dermocystida of the class Mesomycetozoea. The 18S rRNA sequences from these two isolates only differ within a single region of 16 contiguous nucleotides. Based on the distant phylogenetic relationship of these organisms to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Amphibiocystidium ranae&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;and similarity to&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Sphaerothecum destruens&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;we propose the organism be renamed&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Amphibiothecum penneri&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
