Campylopus acuminatus Mitt. var. kirkii (Mitt.)J.-P. Frahm is reported for the first time for Chile.The first key to the Campylopus species of Chilewas published by Frahm (1976). It was writtento determine collections made by L. Landrum in1969-71 and was based on an uncriticalcompilation of all species reported for Chile atthat time. It included 33 species. An almostcomplete revision of the genus during thefollowing twenty years resulted in a drasticalreduction of species numbers by new synonyms.This concerns especially the austral regions,where many species have wide subantarcticranges. Most taxonomic and nomenclaturalchanges were considered in the recent firstchecklist of the mosses of Chile by He (1998),with the following exceptions (see also Frahm1999):C. areodictyon (C. Müll.) Broth. This speciesdistributed through the northern Andes (Frahm1991) was reported for the Juan FernandezIslands by Brotherus (Robinson 1975). Robinson(l.c.) attributed these records to C. kunkelii Bartr.,a species which was regarded as synonymouswith C. pyriformis (Schultz) Brid. (Corley &Frahm 1982).C. flavissimus (C. Mül.) Besch.  is synonymouswith  Chorisodontium fulvatrum Besch.according to Frahm (1987), a species nowconsidered as synonymous with C. aciphyllum(Hook. f. & Wils.) Broth. (Hyvönen 1991).Campylopus hamatus Bartr. is considered to bea species of  Chorisodontium (Frahm 1999).C. morenoi Dus. is not a Campylopus (Frahm1999).In general, most of the Campylopus species ofChile are austral in distribution (C. introflexus,incrassatus, clavatus, acuminatus, pyriformis,purpureocaulis, vesticaulis, cf. Frahm 1988).Endemic to Chile vz. southern South America40TROPICAL BRYOLOGY 26  (2005)Frahmare (at the present state of knowledge) C.chilensis, laxoventralis and modestus. Tropicalmontane to subtropical is C. pilifer Brid. Inaddition, there are doubtful records of  theneotropical C. richardii Brid. and the andine C.asperifolius Mitt., which are not considered inthe following key. Due to the lack of any floraof Chile, a new key for the Campylopus speciesof this country is given here, which may be ofhelp for other bryologists identifying collectionsfrom Chile.Key to the species of Campylopus from Chile1    Inner basal laminal cells incrassate, relatively     short, 2-3:1, outer ones narrow in 8-10 rows.

New to region X.Campylopus acuminatus Mitt.11-4, 20-2. The specimen 20-2 is from a bog,11-4, however, from a lava flow. The latter hasnarrower, more elongate leaves. The leaves areusually straight but plants with hamate leavesare intermixed.Campylopus acuminatus Mitt. var. kirkii (Mitt.)J.-P. Frahm, new to Chile41TROPICAL BRYOLOGY 26  (2005)Campylopus flora of Chile20-3, 20-4. A variety with cucullate instead ofpiliferous leaf tips, which was so far only knownfrom Australia and New Zealand. Interestingly,both taxa were found in mixed tufts. There areseveral species with cucullate and piliferousvarieties. The cucullate varieties haveperichaetial leaves with piliferous hairpoints. Thereasons causing these varieties are not known.20-4 has elongate leaves at stem tips, perhapsfor vegetative reproduction.Campylopus chilensis De Not.12-4Campylopus clavatus (R.

The speciesis usually a vicariant species of C. introflexus.However, like in other parts of the world, theranges of both species sometimes overlap (e.g.in southern Brazil or South Africa). Campylopuspilfer was recorded only three times before fromChile (from IX and X. region, Valdivia and JuanFernandez Islands), and this locality is situatedseveral hundred kilometres south of Valdivia, theformer southernmost record. The plants of thisspecimen have conspicuous short upper laminalcells.Campylopus pyriformis (Schultz) Brid.12-3Pilopogon schilleri Herz.15-2(1) XII. Region; Prov.
