The genus Cyphellophora have been reported from plant materials, mammal's skins and nails, and food. Previous research studies have only provided morphological characteristics of the asexual morphs of this genus. The genus Camptophora was introduced as a new genus segregated from Cyphellophora based on the sickle-shaped septate conidia and phylogenetic lineages. For the first time, we provide morphological characteristics of a sexual morph of Cyphellophora and Camptophora collected and isolated in Yunnan Province of China. Cyphellophora jingdongensis and Camptophora schima are introduced as new species while Ca. hylomeconis is reported as a new record to China based on both morphological characteristics and molecular phylogenetic analysis with combined ITS and LSU sequence data, and are compared with related taxa. Full descriptions, illustrations, colour photographs and notes are provided for three species.
