Tretoheliocephala cylindrospora is described and illustrated as a new species collected from a decaying twig of an unidentified plant in Phu Laenkha National Park, Chaiyaphum Province, northeastern Thailand. The new fungus, which is compared with T. compacta, the type species of the previously monotypic genus, is characterized by unbranched conidiophores that produce solitary, oblong or cylindrical, unicellular conidia.
