According to Ridley in 1991 Laurence Hurst of Oxford found a species of slime-mold with thirteen genders. But only two have to have sex to have offspring. Gender 13 is always contributes organnelles as well as other genetic information. Gender 12 contributes organelles unless the other partner is gender 13. Gender 11 contributes organelles unless the other partner is of genders 12 or 13 and so on down the line to gender 1. How the gender of the offspring is determined I have no idea.
Saying more than two genders but no hermaphrodites may not make sense, as there are plants with male, female, and hermaphrodite parts. Although apparently there does tend to be pressure towards having only two genders.
I am not sure there are any species in which genetic material from more than two genders are required. (I guess that is the question)
