During our ongoing studies of bambusicolous fungi in southwest China and Thailand, three saprobic pleosporalean taxa were discovered on bamboos in Yunnan Province of China. <i>Occultibambusa hongheensis</i> and <i>Seriascoma bambusae</i> spp. nov. are introduced based on morphological characteristics coupled with multi-locus phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, SSU, TEF1-α, RPB2 and ITS sequence data. <i>Occultibambusa kunmingensis</i> is also reported from a terrestrial habitat for the first time. Comprehensive descriptions, color photo plates of micromorphology, and a phylogenetic tree showing the placements of these three taxa are provided. In addition, synopsis tables of <i>Occultibambusa</i> and <i>Seriascoma</i> with morphological features are also provided.
