In total, 27 species in four genera (Metaso- lenostoma, Plectocolea, Protosolenostoma, Solenostoma) are recorded, the occurrence of 24 of which is con- firmed. Each confirmed species is provided with an ecological overview, and a list of specimens examined and illustrations based on materials from Korea. Solenostoma jirisanense sp. nov. is described.

Since then the object of the present study, but also to the Korean Peninsula. circumscription of family was modified several times by On the one hand specimens from North Korea, collected within transfers of genera to other families (e.g., Endogemmataceae, last 60 years, are absolutely unavailable to foreigners (including cf. Vilnet et al., 2011), synonymization of known genera (e.g., South Koreans); on another hand many records from South Scaphophyllum and some species of Gottschelia with Korea published by Yamada and Choe (1997) as well as Hong Solenostoma, cf. Feldberg et al., 2009) and the descriptions of (1962) also could not be checked. We studied the collections new genera (e.g., Protosolenostoma and Metasolenostoma, cf. in the three largest herbaria in Japan: TNS, HIRO, and NICH, Bakalin et al., 2014). The last valuable emendation was the with particular attention to the latter two, where the specimens transfer of Nardia to Gymnomitriaceae (Shaw et al., 2015). studied by these Korean authors should have been deposited Therefore, considering the aforementioned novelties, the but found only a few materials for widely distributed taxa that Solenostomataceae is represented in Korea by four genera: was of little help to us in the preparation in this account. In Metasolenostoma, Plectocolea, Protosolenostoma and fact, we were forced to study the Solenostomataceae in Korea Solenostoma, all of which are more or less closely related from scratch, and this process was started in 2008. morphologically. Outside of Japan and the southern part of the Russian Far Materials and Methods East the taxonomy and distribution patterns of the Solenostomataceae are poorly understood in East Asia. Several This paper is based on materials collected by us (mostly by species were recorded for various provinces in China and the Choi and Bakalin) within the last twelve years in numerous Korean Peninsula. Unfortunately, these data are too localities across the Republic of Korea and deposited in JNU, fragmentary and incline one to suspect disjunctive distributions KB, and VBGI. These collections far exceed the previously for many taxa, especially in China. Additionally, some records known materials collected in South Korea and may be regarded may be based on misidentifications and the specimens on as rather exhaustive for South Korea.

The nomenclature citation for each species includes only a few synonyms, mostly those names that were previously used for the Korean Peninsula. Here we do not describe the identification and descriptions of each species, genus, and Solenostomataceae, the overview of taxonomically valuable features or the history of generic understanding, because it was published very recently (Bakalin, 2014a; Bakalin and Choi, 2017) and need not be repeated. The synonyms after species name are provided only if they were used to indicate the species for the Korean Peninsula in the literature.
