Tortula flavinervis Dixon var. parviretis Sainsbury is Barbula crinita Schultz. The type of Phasconia balansae Müll. Hal. was not located, only a plate of the type material was seen. Phasconia balansae Müll. Hal. and Astomum platystegium Dixon are considered as identical. The occurrence of Weissia brachycarpa (Nees & Hornsch.) Jur. in Australia is doubtful. Comments on several nomina nuda are given. No material was located for Hymenostomum pertortile Müll. Hal. nom. nud. Weissia latiuscula Müll. Hal. is reported new for Australia.
A revised and updated literature-based checklist of Hawaiian mosses is presented. Geographic coverage includes the eight main Hawaiian Islands; the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands are excluded. The checklist is alphabetically ordered by scientific names; the family is noted for each genus. Synonyms and misapplied names are cross-referenced to the accepted names. A bibliography of supporting references is included.
En los diferentes tipos de paisaje del corregimiento de Tarapacá (Amazonas-Colombia) se estudió la distribución vertical de los briófitos sobre los forofítos, encontrándose que alrededor del 41% de las especies son exclusivas del dosel y el 35% exclusivas del sotobosque. Además, se analiza la selectividad de las especies de briófitos por diferentes tipos de hábitats (base de tronco, corteza baja, corteza alta, ramas bajas, ramas altas, epífilos, roca, hojarasca, suelo y troncos caídos en descomposición) y sus formas de crecimiento. En todos los tipos de paisaje, la selectividad de la brioflora fue mayor sobre la corteza baja de los árboles y los hábitats del dosel (hojas y ramas del dosel a más de 18 m de altura sobre el suelo), con las formas de crecimiento más comunes (felpas lisas, felpas rugosas e hilos) y el mayor número de especies (especialistas y/o generalistas). Los resultados obtenidos para Tarapacá, fueron comparados con otras regiones similares.
New and remarkable records of bryophytes from Venezuela, Brazil, Costa Rica and Ecuador are reported. Diphyscium chiapense and Hedwigia ciliata var. leucophaea are new to South America. New to Venezuela are Grimmia reflexidens, Metzgeria claviflora, Pilopogon peruvianus and Racomitrium subsecundum; Grimmia navicularis and G. trichophylla are firstly reported for Brazil; Aphanolejeunea microscopica var. africana, A. minuta, A. sintenisii, Cololejeunea bischleriana, Metalejeunea cucullata, and Hyophila nymaniana represent new records for Costa Rica, and new to Ecuador are Diphyscium longifolium, Erpodium beccarii, Macrocolura sagittistipula, and (for continental Ecuador) Marchantia berteroana. Further new records to the states of that countries and rarely collected species are listed. All specimens are deposited in the private herbaria of the authors, duplicates in different herbaria as indicated.
New records are presented based on a collection of Campylopus specimens made by the second author in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The austral species Campylopus clavatus (R. Brown) Wils. in Hook. and Campylopus vesticaulis Mitt. are reported for the first time for Africa, and Campylopus acuminatus Mitt. var. kirkii (Mitt.) J.-P. Frahm is recorded for the second time for Africa. Campylopus arctocarpus (Hornsch.) Mitt. ssp. madegassus (Besch.) J.-P. Frahm is reported for the first time for the Republic of South Africa, and this is the southernmost record of this species. Campylopus simii Schelpe is not synonymous with C. julaceus Jaeg. ssp. arbogastii (Ren. & Card.) J.-P. Frahm but combined here as new as a variety of C. pilifer Brid.
