MOSSES OF EUROPE AND MACARONESIA 233139. Molecular phylogenies of Pottiaceae by Werner et al.(2004a, 2005b) place the European species in the threegroups recognized here: Merceyoideae (Scopelophila),Trichostomoideae (including Splachnobryum,Ephemeraceae, Pleuroweiseae sensu Corley et al.,1981, and some Barbula species, e.g. B. bolleana),and Pottioideae (including Pottieae, Cinclidotus andBarbuleae sensu Corley et al., 1981). Timmiella doesnot belong in Pottiaceae but is listed here until a betterplace can be found for it. Likewise, those Barbulaspecies that belong in Trichostomoideae have beenretained in Barbula until their correct generic positioncan be ascertained.140. Crumia latifolia (Kindb.) W.B.Schofield is knownfrom the Caucasus but outside Europe.141. Anoectangium handelii is known from the Crimea. It isdescribed by Zander & Weber (2005), correcting anearlier report by Zander (1977) who had treated it as asynonym of Molendoa sendtneriana.142. Ephemerum hibernicum was described from Ireland byHolyoak & Bryan (2005).143. Holyoak has examined much material of Ephemerumserratum and E. minutissimum, and finds that in bothspecies occasional plants have leaves with a weaknerve. He has not seen the type of E. serratum var.praecox, which could be a synonym of either of thesetaxa.144. Ephemerum spinulosum has been found in Ireland andthe Basque region of Spain (Holyoak, 2001; Infante &Heras, 2005).145. Author citation for Eucladium verticillatum follows thetypification by Ochyra & Zijlstra (2005).146. Gymnostomum mosis (Lorentz) Jur. & Milde wasreported from Spain by Martínez-Sánchez, Ros &Guerra (1991), but later Cano, Ros & Guerra (1994)described the new species Gymnostomum lanceolatumbased on this material.147. Gymnostomum aeruginosum var. obscurum wasdescribed by Guerra (2004).148. Spelling of species epithet in Hymenostylium recurvirostrumfollows Hedwig (1801) not Crosby et al.(1999).149. Pleurochaete malacophylla (Müll.Hal.) Broth. is listedfor Turkey by Kürschner & Erdağ (2005).150. Splachnobryum delicatulum is treated by Arts (2001) asa synonym of S. obtusum. Splachnobryum obtusum wasnot included in the main list of Corley et al. (1981),because these authors considered that its occurrenceswere not sufficiently natural. However, it occurs in theopen in Hungary and the Azores, and is accordinglylisted here.151. Tortella arctica (Arnold) Crundw. & Nyholm has beenreported from Svalbard, but the records refer toTrichostomum arcticum (Frisvoll & Elvebakk,1996).152. Tortella alpicola was reported new for Europe byOtnyukova et al. (2004).153. Tortella bambergeri was not recognized as a goodspecies by Corley et al. (1981), but is generallyaccepted by bryologists in central Europe and alsoby us.154. Tortella densa is treated as a variety T. inclinata var.densa, following Eckel (1998).155. Tortella limbata has been refound on the CanaryIslands. Dirkse et al. (1993) compared their collectionwith the holotype and noted the distinctive denticulateleaf border, composed of long narrow cells, runningnearly to the leaf apex.156. Tortella limosella is known only from the Scottishtype-locality, and has not been refound since itsdiscovery in 1906.157. Tortella cirrifolia was synonymized with T. nitida bySjögren (2001).158. Molecular studies by Werner et al. (2005b) show thatthe genus Trichostomum as listed here is heterogeneous,with T. brachydontium and T. crispulum nestedwithin Weissia and T. triumphans very close toPottiopsis caespitosa. Trichostomum connivens(Lindb. ex Broth.) Paris is recorded from theCaucasus but is not known from Europe.Trichostomum contortum (Kunze) Sérgio is probablya synonym of T. brachydontium, although Sérgio(1985) thought that it was a good species.159. For synonymy of Hyophila treleasei, see Sollman(1993).160. Weissia leptocarpa Schimp. ex Besch. is treated bySérgio & Carvalho (2003) as a doubtful species, but isaccepted for Turkey by Kürschner & Erdağ (2005), inspite of the fact that Frey & Kürschner (1991) hadtreated it as doubtful and illegitimate.161. Weissia mittenii (Bruch & Schimp.) Mitt. is omitted,because it is designated above as a hybridW.6mittenii (Bruch & Schimp.) Mitt. emend.A.J.E.Sm. Smith (pers. comm. to Hill) notes that W.mittenii has malformed capsules and abnormal spores.Following Werner et al. (2005b), Astomum is includedin Weissia.162. A molecular study by Werner et al. (2004b) supportsthe species status of Weissia wimmeriana.163. Acaulon mediterraneum is treated by many authors asa variety of A. muticum, to which it is undoubtedlyclose.164. Aloina humilis was described from the Canary Islandsby Gallego et al. (1998).165. Aloina obliquifolia is accorded species rank followingGallego et al. (1999).166. The Macaronesian Barbula semilimbata Dixon &Luisier was listed by Eggers (1982) but is a poorlyknown taxon, not recorded since it was described.167. Barbula convoluta var. sardoa is treated by some atspecies rank. Frahm & Ahmed (2004a) suggested thename B. sardoa. However, the epithet sardoa is correctat the varietal level but superfluous at the species level.
