Abstract

Acanthocoleus yoshinaganus (S. Hatt.) Kruijt, previously known from Japan and Korea, is reported here as a new generic record for the Chinese bryoflora. Both lejeuneoid and pycnolejeuneoid gynoecial innovations occur in A. yoshinaganus. The SE Asian Lejeunea herzogii Mizut. is synonymized with L. papilionacea Steph., which was known from Africa (Cameroun, Comores, Ghana, Madagascar, and Sierra Leone). Detailed descriptions, illustrations, taxonomic notes, and distribution of A. yoshinaganus and L. papilionacea are provided.
