Abstract

Neottiella albocincta (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Sacc., N. rutilans (Fr.) Dennis, Octospora maireana  (Seaver) Yei Z. Wang, and O. texensis Benkert are reported for the first time from Mexico. These species, all belonging to the family Pyronemataceae, have close relationships with several species of mosses such as those in the genera Archidium Brid., Atrichum P. Beauv., and Polytrichum Hedw. The specimens were collected in montane cloud forest, riparian and Quercus forest in the states of Puebla and Tamaulipas. With the addition of these species, the number of bryosymbiotic fungi in Mexico increases to five.
