Trematodon vaginatus is characterized by the small plant stature (to 2.5 mm), neck slightly longer than urn, and spores 24-27 µm in diameter. Given the rather numerous species described from South America, this may not be the earliest name for this taxon.

Trematodon vaginatus se caracteriza por las planta pequeñas (hasta 2.5 mm), cuello escasamente más largo que la urna y esporas 24-27 µm de diámetro. Dadas las numerosas especies descritas en Sur América, este nombre puede no ser el más antiguo para este taxón.
