Barbula consanguinea (Thw. & Mitt.) Jaeg. sensu Eddy is considered as a pan-tropical species. This taxon is reported new for several central African countries, the Arabian peninsula, and Middle America. This variable species is shortly discussed and compared with (most) related taxa. Hymenostylium crispulum Broth. & Par. and Barbula obscura Sull. (= Barbula wrightii Sauerb.) are considered as synonyms of Barbula consanguinea.
Barbula propingua C. Muell. is Tortula antarctica (Hampe) Wils. in Hook. f.; Barbula vesiculosa C. Muell. is Tortula papillosa Wils.; Tortula chlorotricha Broth. & Geheeb is Barbula crinita K. F. Schultz; Barbula chrysopus C. Muell. is Didymodon torquatus (Tayl.) Catcheside. Furthermore, comments are given on several nomina nuda.
In Asia, Pseudosymblepharis Broth., consists of only one species: Pseudosymblepharis bombayensis (C. Muell.) Sollman. Although the extremes in the collections (e.g. larger versus smaller plants) at first sight look distinct, intermediates were seen rather frequently. The more variable characters are discussed. Small-sized specimens of Pseudosymblepharis are distinguished from Trichostomum tenuirostre (Hook. & Tayl.) Lindb., Trichostomum brachydontium Br. and several other species. Twenty-three reductions to synonymy are proposed. Data on distribution and habitat are given.
