Didymodon tibeticus

This is another species recently described from China ( Kou et al., 2018); it was found in several counties of Tibet Province. Three GenBank accessions of D. tibeticus , including obtained from paratype specimen, were available in GenBank. They formed a maximally supported clade sister to the clade of D. icmadophilus + D. vulcanicus within clade 4, and one specimen from Zabaikalsky Territory was resolved in this clade. It also fully agreed with D. tibeticus in morphology and was referred to this species. The description, illustrations, ecological data and distribution in Russia are discussed separately by Afonina & Ignatova (2024) in the present volume.
