Abstract
An ascomycete isolated from a leaf of kitul palm (Caryota urens) in Sri Lanka is described as C. caryotae gen. et sp. nov. It is shown by cultural studies to have a Corynespora anamorph (hyphomycete). The new family Corynesporascaceae is erected to accommodate this new genus; it is referred to the order Melanommatales sensu Barr. This is the first proof of a connection between Corynespora species and a teleomorph.
