With the aim to study Hyphomycetes, leaves of Cedrela fissilis Veil, were collected from January to November of 1993, in the "Horto Florestal Dr. Luiz Teixeira Mendes", Municipality of Maringá, PR, Brazil (23º25' S, 51º25' W). The leaves were prepared by washing with serial changes of sterile distilled water and incubated in moist chambers. Three species with sporodochial conidiomata, Epicoccum nigrum Link, Volutella minima Hõhn. and Wiesneriomyces laurinus (Tassi) Kirk and three with synnematous type, Menisporopsis theobromae S. Hughes, Thozetella cristata Piroz. & Hodges and T. cubensis Castaneda & Arnold were isolated. All these species colonize C. fissilis leaf litter with M. theobromae, T. cristata, and W. laurinus being the most commonly found. From living leaves of C. fissilis only is. nigrum and V minima were isolated. Descriptions, geographical distributions, coments, and illustrations are included for each species. All these species are cited for the first time to Paraná State. T. cubensis is registered for the first time to Brazil.
