Abstract
Fissidens beckettii is reported for the first time for Russia from the Primorye Territory (43°00′N, 133°00–01′E). The species was described from Sri Lanka, and subsequent revision, especially in last decades, revealed its pan-tropical distribution. The description and illustrations based of Russian collections are given and the species distribution is discussed. Russian locality is separated from Japanese ones by ca. 1000 km and from Chinese by ca. 3000 km. Noteworthy is the species occurrence in disturbed habitats, specifically along roads in Miscanthus’ meadows in southern part of the Primorye Territory, together with two other southern species recently found as new for Russia. These are pantropical Fissidens hyalinus and primarily eastern North American Ephemerum spinulosum, the latter recorded after 1975 in southern Japan and West Europe.
