Taxonomy, distribution, and
ecology of little known taxa of section Sudeticae Schljakov (L. lacerata
N. Kitag., L. schusteriana Schljakov, and intraspecific taxa of L.
wenzelii (Nees) Steph.) are discussed. Lophozia wenzelii var. massularioides
var. nov. is described. Lophozia wenzelii var. litoralis (Arnell)
comb. nov. is proposed. The identification key to intraspecific taxa of Lophozia
wenzelii is presented. Separating the sect. Longidentatae R.M.
Schust. from the sect. Lophozia seems to be unfounded due to the absence
of defining features. The new circumscription of the sect. Lophozia and
list of its species are presented. Lophozia sect. Savicziae Bakalin
sect. nov. is described. Its defining features are an unstable structure of
oil-bodies and unstable stem tissue differentiation.
