Notes :
Splachnobryum is characterized by small statured, erect plants, with stem epidermal cells somewhat thin-walled, obovate to oblong-elliptical, occasionally subspathulate leaves, broadly acute to rounded apices, margins plane above, entire to distally crenulate, subpercurrent to percurrent costae, rhomboidal to hexagonal, smooth and firm-walled median cells, quadrate distal marginal cells, elongate setae, erect, short cylindrical capsule with a peristome represented by a papillose endostome. Splachnobryum has previously been placed in the Funariales by Koponen (1981). Recent studies by Allen & Pursell (2000) have suggested the placement in the Pottiales based on the haplolepidous peristome, stomata type and pattern of rhizoid insertion.
 
Splachnobryum se caracteriza por las plantas erectas de estatura reducida, células epidérmicas del tallo con paredes algo delgadas, hojas obovadas a oblongo-elípticas, ocasionalmente subespatuladas ápices ampliamente agudos a redondeados, márgenes planos en la porción distal, enteros a distalmente crenulados, costa subpercurrente a percurrente, células mediales romboidales a hexagonales, lisas y con paredes firmes, células distales del margen cuadradas, setas alargadas, cápsulas erectas, corto-cilíndricas y endostoma papiloso. Splachnobryum fue localizado previamente en Funariales por Koponen (1981). Estudios recientes realizados por Allen & Pursell (2000) sugieren su ubicación en Pottiales en base al peristoma haplolépido, tipo de estomas y el patrón de inserción de los rizoides.
