Notes. – Lepidozia cupressina is a common and widespread Afro-American species that has been described under many different names. Lepidozia tenuicuspis Steph. is a phenotype of L. cupressina with longly uniseriate underleaf apices made up of quadrate to subrectangular cells (1–2 × longer than wide). The specimen in Bryo. Levier 6560 is chosen here as the lectotype of L. tenuicuspis as it was illustrated in STEPHANI (1985: tab. 5071).
