REMARKS

Diplasiolejeunea pauckertii is a neotropical-montane species that has been recorded from Serra do Itatiaia in Minas Gerais and Rio de Janeiro ( Schäfer-Verwimp 1992), growing on tree trunks and decaying logs at 1500-2300 m. This species is mainly characterized by plants 2.5-3 mm wide and lobules very large, usually ^⁄5 of the leaf length, strongly swollen-involute, continuing to the leaf apex by an involute ventral leaf margin.
