Neckera urnigera is characterized by the wide-spreading, undulate stem and branch leaves, acute apices, 2-3 alar cells on the unfolded side of leaf, and excerted capsules. Neckera urnigera can be distinguished from N. chilensis by the branch leaves spreading, tapered leaf base, few concolourous, ca. 2-3, alar cells, in the latter species the leaf base is rounded, golden-yellow, alar cells ca. 6-8 (Allen 2010). This species is little known in Bolivia and requires further field and herbarium studies. Neckera marchalii Herzog and N. mollusca Mitt. are synonyms.

Neckera urnigera se puede diferenciar de N. chilensis por las hojas patentes en las ramas, base de la hoja tapered, pocas células alares concoloras, ca. 2-3, en esta última  especie la base de la hoja es redondeada, células alares amarillo-doradas, ca. 6-8 (Allen 2010). Esta especie es poco conocida en Bolivia y requiere mayores estudios en campo y herbario. Neckera marchalii Herzog y N. mollusca Mitt. son sinónimos.
