Abstract

An integrative study of material from Yunnan Province, China, revealed two new Lophozia species. These species and several other representatives of the genus known from East Asia form a distinct clade within the phylogenetic structure of Lophozia. Descriptions, photographs, and comments regarding the morphological characteristics of the new taxa are provided. Lophozia neglecta is characterized by pink gemmae (another taxon with similar gemmae is East Asian L. koreana, whereas L. vinacea is characterized by vine-purple gemmae, which were previously unknown in the genus. Additionally, molecular analysis confirmed the occurrence of L. fuscovirens, a poorly known Lophozia taxon with brown gemmae, in the Kamchatka Peninsula. The taxonomic diversity of Lophozia in East Asia comprises 12 species belonging to various distribution groups, including the Sino-Himalayan and broadly East Asian groups.
