Synopsis of families and genera<br />
Families are arranged alphabetically within each Order. The placement of genera closely follows<br />
Grolle 1983a (421), except for the Lejeuneaceae which follows Gradstein 1994 (122). The 1071 taxa<br />
are assigned to 146 genera in 47 families. The numbers in brackets against each genus indicate the<br />
number of taxa currently accepted within the genus (but this number includes some doubtful taxa<br />
which have not (yet) been synonymised or rejected, and taxa identified only to the genus). The numbers<br />
in a small font refer to the African Index Muscorum region(s) in which the genus has been recorded.<br />
Since the publication of Grolle 1995 (1) and Wigginton & Grolle 1996 (2), thirteen generic<br />
names have been added to the sub-Saharan list: Apomarsupella, Aureolejeunea, Kymatocalyx,<br />
Mnioloma, Paracromastigum, Sphenolobopsis and Xylolejeunea included in edition 1 of this checklist,<br />
and Amphicephalozia, Denotarisia, Pellia, Plicanthus, Sauteria and Southbya in the present edition.<br />
Capillolejeunea and Stenorrhipis have been placed in synonymy, Folioceros recognised at generic<br />
level, and Hyalolepidozia, which was removed in edition 1 of this checklist, is reinstated.<br />
