Abstract

Anacalypta subcaespitosa, a neglected Colombian taxon, is transferred to the genus Bryoerythrophyllum as B. subcaespitosum. The species known only from the type locality in Bogotá, Colombia, is newly reported for the moss floras of Bolivia and Peru. It is described, lectotypified, illustrated and its distribution is mapped. Its distinction from and relationships with some closely related species within the genus are discussed.
