During a survey of anamorphic ascomycetes in Taiwan, an undescribed fungus belonging to the dematiaceous ascomycetes was found on rotten twigs. This fungus, which is described and illustrated here as Endophragmiella multiramosa, is characterized by producing compactly branched conidiomata with percurrent conidiogenous cells and obovoid, ellipsoidal or pyriform, 0-1-septate, pigmented conidia with basal frills. Its delimitation is discussed and a key for the discussed species is added.
