A new ascomycete species, inhabiting decaying bamboo culms, is introduced in this paper based on morphology and molecular evidence. Analyses of partial LSU sequence data place the taxon in a monophyletic clade within the order Pleosporales . Morphological characters of the taxon are also distinct from other members of Pleosporales . Ligninsphaeria jonesii gen. et sp. nov. is therefore introduced to accommodate the new taxon, which is characterized by its clypeate, scattered, deeply immersed ascomata, with a slit-like opening, long ostioles, cellular pseudoparaphyses, clavate asci containing broad-fusiform and 1-septate ascospores surrounded by a gelatinous cap at both ends. The phylogenetic analyses show that the new taxon is phylogenetically close but distinct from the families Amniculicolaceae and Testudinaceae , and forms a distinct clade from other taxa in Pleosporales . The new taxon is described and compared with similar taxa. A new genus Ligninsphaeria (Pleosporales, incertae sedis ) is introduced to accommodate this distinct lineage.
