Cheilolejeunea rigidula ( Mont.) R.M.Schust. Castanea 36 (2): 102 (1971). Cheilolejeunea falcata Steph., Species Hepaticarum 5: 655 (1914). Cheilolejeunea ovistipula Steph., Hedwigia 34: 244 (1895). Bastos (2017: 42, fig. 12). — Type: Guadeloupe, l’Herminier 124 (holo-, G[G00112875!]), syn. nov. DISTRIBUTION. — A species widespread in tropical America and Africa. Remarks Cheilolejeunea ovistipula is a phenotype of C. rigidula with rather large trigones and a relatively long lobule tooth. The record of C. ovistipula from Capesterre-Belle-Eau, Guadeloupe (Bastos 2017: “on isolated tree at the margin of banana plantation, 400 m, 3 April 2002, Schäfer-Verwimp & Verwimp 22500/ C”) presumably belongs to C. rigidula as well.
