Abstract
The new genus Lacazia P. Taborda, V. Taborda, et McGinnis is proposed to ac commodate Lacazia loboi (O. M. Fonseca et Lacaz) P. Taborda, V. Taborda, et McGinnis, the obligate pathogen that causes lobomycosis in mammals. The co ntinued placement of that fungus in the genus Paracoccidioides Almeida as P aracoccidioides loboi is taxonomically inappropriate. Loboa loboi Ciferri e t al. is a synonym of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.
