Glossadelphus prostratus (Dozy & Molk.) M. Fleisch. Both Glossadelphus anomalus from Hainan ( Tixier 1988 ) and Myurella brevicosta from Xizang ( Gao & Cao 1992 ) of China were mistook as G. prostratus and thus the species is once recorded from China ( Lin et al. 1992 , Jia & He 2013 ). However, our study indicates that G. anomalus and M. brevicosta are not identical with G. prostratus , but species of Ectropothecium and Bryocrumia , respectively (See sections 3.1 and 2.1 above for details). Therefore, G. prostratus should be excluded from moss flora of China .
