Cintractiella    is an unusual genus of smut fungi containing two described species that produce sori as adventitious gall-like spikelets on members of tribe    Hypolytreae    (subfam.   Mapanioideae  ,   Cyperaceae  ). In September 200, during a botanical expedition on the volcanic island of Kosrae located in the eastern Caroline Islands and within the Federated States of Micronesia, a specimen of    Mapania   pacifica    was collected displaying    Cintractiella   -like sori in adventitious spikelets on the host leaves. Sori were hypophyllous, occurring in groups of spikelets composed of olivaceous-brown scale-like leaves, 1–1.5 mm wide and up to 6 mm long. Microscopic comparison with the protologue and drawings of the type material of    C.   lamii    show several differences in teliospore and sori characters between it and the newly collected material on    Mapania   . To our knowledge, this represents only the second known collection of any member of    Cintractiella    on vegetative organs of    Hypolytreae    and a third species for this genus and the only known smut species infecting    Mapania   , herein described as    Cintractiella   kosraensis    sp. nov.
