Several species reported previously fromrestinga appear to be erroneous records, based on misidentification.Restinga is a kind of vegetation growingon quaternary sandy sediments, along the coastof Brazil (Ribas, Hay & Caldas-Soares, 1994). Itpresents a high floristic and physiognomic diver-sity; the species composition changes from areaswith grass, through dense forests, to swampydense forests. The restinga vegetation is a ecosy-stem with a structural complexity and biologicaldiversity, which sustains comparison only withthe tropical rain forests (Ribeiro & Monteiro, 1994).There are only three papers about thebryophytes of Brazilian restingas. Behar et al(1992) reported 15 bryophytes from Setiba StatePark; Vital & Visnadi (1994) mentioned 52 bryo-phytes from Juréia Ecological Station, PeruíbeMunicipality, São Paulo State; and Yano & Costa(1994) reported 13 bryophytes from Massambaba,Arraial do Cabo Municipality, Rio de Janeiro State.We examined the materials reported byBehar et al. (1992) which are deposited in SP, butwe could not study those of these authors in VIES.Therefore, seven species reported by Behar et al.(1992) are not listed in the present paper. Four ofthem were not collected by Capelari and Vital:Acrolejeunea torulosa (Lehm. & Lindenb.)Schiffn., Frullania caroliniana Sull., Rectolejeu-nea maxonii Evs. and Meiothecium revolubileMitt. We have asked for the later species fromVIES but have not received any answer yet. Theother three species are treated here as misidenti-fications; materials cited as Lejeunea flava (Sw.)Nees were reidentified in part as Cheilolejeuneadiscoidea (Lehm. & Lindenb.) Kach. & Schust.and partly as Rectolejeunea brittoniae Evs.; of 1170specimens cited as Mastigolejeunea auriculata(Wils.) Schiffn., 10 belong to Schiffneriolejeuneapolycarpa (Nees) Gradst.; and the materialreported as Campylopus arenaceum (Broth.)Frahm is C. trachyblepharon, a species not collec-ted by Capelari and Vital. The remaining eightbryophytes reported by Behar et al. (1992) arelisted here: Frullania ericoides (Nees) Mont.,Frullania gibbosa Nees in Mont., Frullania nee-sii Lindenb., Lejeunea ulicina (Tayl.) Tayl., exGott., Lehm. & Nees [as Microlejeunea ulicina(Tayl.) Steph. by Behar et al., 1992], Isopterygiumtenerum (Sw.) Mitt., Octoblepharum albidumHedw., Schlotheimia rugifolia (Hook.) Schwaegr.and Sematophyllum subpinnatum (Brid.) Britt. [asSematophyllum caespitosum (Hedw.) Mitt. byBehar et al., 1992]. On the other hand, 26 furtherbryophyte species (21 hepatics, five mosses) arereported in the present paper, which were notlisted by Behar et al. (1992).Of the 13 bryophytes from restinga repor-ted by Yano & Costa (1994) four are not treated inthe present paper:  Chonecolea doellingeri (Nees)Grolle, Frullania dusenii Steph., Barbula agrariaHedw. and Campylopus arenaceum (Broth. )Frahm. However, all the materials reported as F.dusenii Steph. are treated here as misidentificationsof F. gibbosa Nees in Mont. The single materialfrom SP reported as C. arenaceum is treated hereas misidentification of C. trachyblepharon (C.Müll.) Mitt. It was not observed the other materialcited as C. arenaceum from Herbarium RB.The Setiba State Park is localized inGuarapari Municipality, Espírito Santo State, ca.20o.33'S-40o.23'W. About the vegetation of SetibaState Park, see Behar & Viégas (1992) and Behar etal. (1992).The collections were made by Capelari andVital in October 1992 in four kinds of restinga:1. Low and sparse restinga: sparse shrubby vege-tation of ca. 3m alt.2. Medium restinga: arboreous-shrubby vegeta-tion of ca. 5-8m alt.3. High restinga: dense forest with arboreous-shrubby vegetation of ca. 6-15m alt., on sandy-humous soil.4. High and sandy restinga: similar to high restingabut without humus.All examined materials are deposited in SP.HEPATICAEAphanolejeunea subdiaphana (Jovet-Ast) PócsLow and sparse restinga, on shrub stembase and sandy soil, Capelari & Vital 6.Ceratolejeunea laetefusca (Aust.)

The other two materials ofVallando et al. and Intra et al. from Herbarium VIES,which were also reported as C. arenaceum, werenot observed. Yano & Costa (1994) reported Yano,Sugiyama & Costa 15770 (SP240948) as C.arenaceum, but it is also C. trachyblepharon.

Five specieswere found only in low and sparse restinga; threeonly in medium restinga; three only in high restinga;and five only in high and sandy restinga. Thebryophytes of the four kinds of restingas seem tobe essentially similar, although Capelari and Vitalhave visited the Setiba State Park only once. Thefew differences found may be due to the smallnumber of collections made there.The second author collected 52 bryophy-tes from restinga at the Juréia Ecological Station(Vital & Visnadi, 1994) and 34 bryophytes fromrestinga at Setiba State Park. However, the bryo-florulas from restingas seems to differ betweenthese two places - only 10 species (seven hepatics,three mosses) are common between them.Isopterygium tenerum (Sw.) Mitt., is commom tothe low and sparse restingas from these two places.Also only Isopterygium tenerum (Sw.) Mitt. iscommon to the medium restingas of these twoplaces. Six bryophytes occur in high restinga atSetiba and in the transition area with the Atlanticforest at Juréia; and nine species occur in high andsandy restinga at Setiba and in the transition areawith the Atlantic forest at Juréia.Literature citedBehar, L. & Viégas, G.M. de F. 1992.
