Description
Summary:	During our investigation of palm fungi in Thailand, two interesting taxa from <i>Elaeis guineensis</i> and <i>Metroxylon sagu</i> (Arecaceae) were collected. Based on phylogenetic analyses of a combined dataset of ITS, LSU, <i>rpb2</i>, and <i>tub2</i> nucleotide sequences as well as unique morphological characteristics, we introduce the new genus <i>Haploanthostomella</i> within Xylariales, and a new species <i>Endocalyx metroxyli</i>. Additionally, in our study, the genus <i>Endocalyx</i> is transferred to the family Cainiaceae based on its brown conidia and molecular phylogenetic evidence.
