REMARKS
This species is widely reported from Europe (
Hodgetts 2015
) and the Mediterranean area (
Ros
et al.
2013
). It is recorded in many Balkan states:
Bosnia-Herzegovina
,
Bulgaria
,
Greece
,
Montenegro
,
Romania
,
Serbia
,
Slovenia
and European
Turkey
(
Sabovljević
et al.
2008
;
Ros
et al.
2013
;
Hodgetts 2015
), so it was expected to be recorded in Northern
Macedonia
, as well. However, since it is often considered as an infraspecific taxon within the variable
Fissidens viridulus
group, it is surely overlooked in the Balkans and can be more frequent than reported. In
Ros
et al.
(2013)
and
Hodgetts (2015)
it is also considered as infraspecific taxon as
F. viridulus
var.
incurvus
(Starke
ex
Röhl.) Waldh.
