A new anamorphic genus and species, Mesocorynespora sinensis collected on decaying culms of bamboo in China, is described and illustrated. The fungus is distinguished by short, unbranched, clavate conidiophores with monotretic, conidiogenous cells that produce solitary, acrogenous,
obclavate, euseptate conidia. A key to Mesocorynespora and morphologically similar genera is provided.
