- Nomenclatural Comment
- Rhynchostegium fragilicuspis Dixon [Bull. New Zealand Inst. 3(6): 329, 1929]. Dixon was uncertain about the generic placement of this species at the time of its description, and placed it in Rhynchostegium “provisionally” following an opinion from Brotherus. The type collection by W. Gray is from Great Barrier I. I have seen only a minute isotype (WELT M005809) and very much doubtthat it belongs here. Several features, including the entire margins and differentiated alar cells, suggest that it might belong to the Amblystegiaceae. It is not in my opinion nameable[...].
