A list of Pottiaceae specimens is presented. Trichostomum bombayense C.Müll. is transferred to the genus Pseudosymblepharis Broth., and a new combination is made: Pseudosymblepharis bombayensis (C.Müll.) P. Sollman. Five new synonyms are proposed. Gametophyte characters, separating non-fruiting material of Pseudosymblepharis bombayensis from Trichostomum tenuirostre (Hook. & Tayl.) Lindb., are listed.
If a species is not listed in Kis (1985) for a specific country, nor present in the literature cited below for a special genus or species, I have given that species an indication: new for a country (*). When for a species or group of taxa no special literature is cited, the identification can usually (also) be made with Magill (1981). If a remark is given on the distribution in (C.) Africa, also material seen from institutes and private herbaria was considered.
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.
