Taxonomy

The family Catoscopiaceae has traditionally been considered part order Bryales.[1]. However, phylogenetic analyses have found Catoscopium to be the earliest branching group in Dicranidae, as part of a grade of protohaplolepidous lineages.[3][4] Catoscopiaceae are not currently assigned to an order.[2]

Species

The genus contains the following species:[5]

  • Catoscopium martianum (Hoppe & Hornsch.) Huebener
  • Catoscopium nigritum (Hedw.) Brid.
