e Lepyrodontaceae are a monotypic family, with the sole genus Lepyrodon including seven or fewer species distributed in tropical and temperate South America and temperate Australasia, and with a single species extending northward into Mexico and the Caribbean. Two species of Lepyrodon are accepted for the New Zealand flora; both form dense and often large cushions on bark or rock. Lepyrodon australis is predominantly an epiphytic species distributed in drier parts of the two main islands. It has a N.Z. type and is marked by having distinctly plicate leaves and a single endostomal peristome. Outside of N.Z. it is known confidently from Tasmania, where it is documented by only a few collections. The differences between L. australis and the South American L. hexastichus (Mont.) Wijk & Marg. are not wholly convincing, but the former name is here applied to the N.Z. material. Limited material (but including the type) of the latter species has been seen, but no conclusion concerning their taxonomic relationship has been reached. If the two names prove to be synonymous after further study, L. hexastichus would have priority.Our other species, L. lagurus, has an Argentinian type; it forms cushions both on rock and bark throughout the main islands. It is also occurs in Tasmania, wetter parts of mainland Australia, and southern South America. Although the distinction of Australasian material (as L. pseudolagurus B.H. Allen) has been proposed, this is rejected here.
