During research on conidial fungi from the semi-arid region of Brazil, a unique specimen was collected on decaying leaves. Ypsilomyces elegans gen. et sp. nov. is characterized by macronematous mononematous conidiophores occurring on pseudoparenchymatous tissue, terminal conidiogenous cells extending percurrently, and thallic septate Y-shaped subhyaline conidia. Descriptions, illustrations, and comments are provided.
