An investigation of endophytic fungi on healthy leaves of Sorghum bicolor in Brazil led to the identification of an interesting fungus. Based on morphological features and multi-locus analyses, including ITS and LSU nrDNA, rpb1, and tef1 sequences, we propose a new genus, Bifusisporella, in the family Magnaporthaceae. The isolates exhibited a phialidic asexual morph with the following characteristics: curved conidiogenous cells, elongated, cylindrical or clavate, solitary or aggregate. Dimorphic conidia: macroconidia curved, falcate, hyaline, smooth, non-septate, guttulate, tapering at both ends; microconidia falcate, straight to slightly curved, hyaline, smooth, non-septate, hyphopodia are brown, smooth, elongated, and multi-lobulate.
