A new dermatophyte species, Microsporum vanbreuseghemii, is described. This fungus was isolated from ringworm of a Malabar squirrel, a dog, and 2 human beings. The fungus is characterized by the development of many large, thick-walled, echinulate, cylindro-fusiform macroconidia. Cleistothecia with ascospores were produced by all strains when grown on hair on the surface of soil. It is proposed that the perfect form of M. vanbreuseghemii be included in the genus Nannizzia as N. grubyia sp. nov.
