Hyophila nymaniana (M. Fleisch.) M. Menzel

in Willdenowia 22: 198. 1992. ( Pottiaceae)

Notes – The distribution of Hyophila nymaniana is widespread but scattered in tropical regions. It is known from Central America (Costa Rica, Mexico), Africa (Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo) and Southeast Asia (Java, Thailand). However, despite its wide distribution range, the species does not appear to be particularly common anywhere. In a worldwide revision of the genus Hyophila Brid., SOLLMAN (2013) was able to recover 50 collections only.
