Abstract

Didymodon subandreaeoides (Kindb.) R.H.Zander, known to-date from north-western North America and the Beringian part of Arctic Russia, is identical to the earlier described European taxon Didymodon rigidulus subsp. andreaeoides (Limpr.) Wijk & Margad. (Grimmia andreaeoides Limpr.). Nomenclatural history of both taxa and an amended description with illustrations are given, and the variability, differentiation, ecology and distribution are discussed. The typification of all known synonyms is provided.
