Abstract

The authors present here a list of 25 liverworts belonging to 9 families: Adelanthaceae, Balantiopsidaceae, Calypogeiaceae, Frullaniaceae, Herbertaceae, Lejeuneaceae, Lophocoleaceae, Porellaceae and Radulaceae, all collected in humid-hyperhumid neotropical forests of NE and NW of the Argentina. Eleven taxa are exclusive to the Neotropical Region; 5 have a Neotropical-Subtropical distribution; Isotachis serrulata, Triandrophyllum subtrifidum var. trifidum, Heteroscyphus integrifolius and Radula voluta show a Neotropical-Antarctic disjoint distribution. Finally, Frullania ericoides, Frullania glomerata, Lophocolea leptantha, Leptoscyphus expansus and Syzygiella sonderi, extend their disjoint distribution area to the three phytogeographic domains in Argentina: Amazonian, Chaqueño and Sub-Antarctic. The habitat, administrative distribution in Argentina, and general phytogeographic distribution of each taxon, together with distribution maps of some of them, are provided. Six provincial new records are provided for Jujuy, three for Salta and seven for Tucumán.
