Two new records for the bryophyte flora of Turkey and Southwest Asia

Based on unedited bryophyte collections from the Arabian Peninsula and Socotra Island, six new records of mosses are reported for the area. New to the Arabian Peninsula are Pohlia elongata and Ptychostomum cernuum, the remaining four species are new records for Saudi Arabia, resp. Yemen (mainland) and the Socotra Archipelago. Most interesting is Hymenostylium hildebrandtii from the Makkah-Taif area, indicating the influence of the south-western monsoon rainfall far to the north. All taxa show major range extensions in Southwest Asia and contribute to the floristic diversity of the Arabian Peninsula.

The taxonomy, morphology, biology and distribution of Sphingonaepiopsis gorgoniades (Hübner [1819]) and S. nana (Walker 1856) are reviewed. The validity of subspecies within S. gorgoniades is re-examined and it is concluded that there is no justification for their continued recognition. Sphingonaepiopsis gorgoniades pfeifferi Zerny 1933 is therefore confirmed as a synonym of S. gorgoniades. Records of Sphingonaepiopsis in the collection of the Hayk Mirzayans Insect Museum (HMIM), Tehran, Iran, are collated and mapped, and the first confirmed occurrence reported of the Afrotropical S. nana in mainland southwest Asia, an increase in the known range of the species. Global distribution maps are provided for both species.
