| Abstract: | Cladistic analysis was used to clarify the phylogeny of 16 genera of yeasts whose great morphological differences and inclusion
in different classification systems resulted in controversies over the taxonomy of seven genera such asCrypeococcus. etc. Some scholars suggest that they belong to Ascomycetes, but others think they belong to fungi imperfecti. After comprehensive
cladistic analysis of many genetic characters, the authors consider that the above-mentioned seven genera of yeasts developed
in parallel with Ascomycetes so that they should belong to one and the same developmental system.
