Re-examination of morphological features and newly executed molecular analysis based on chloroplast (rbcL, rps4, and trnL-F) and nuclear (ITS1&2) genomes revealed unexpected diversity in Symphyodon perrottetii Mont. s. l. (Symphyodontaceae) in East and Southeast Asia. Japanese plants previously recognized as S. perrottetii are shown to include at least five different species: S. asper (Mitt.) A.Jaeger, S. copelandii Broth., S. gollanioides Nog., S. recurvomarginatus (Dixon & Sakurai) H.Akiyama, comb. nov. and S. rheophilus H.Akiyama, sp. nov. In addition, previous Japanese record of S. echinatus (Mitt.) A.Jaeger is actually S. asper. Symphyodon longispinosus H.Akiyama, sp. nov. from southwestern China is newly described. Subsequently, S. perrottetii s. str. is excluded from China and Japan and has its revised distribution range from southwest India (type locality of S. perrottetii), Sri Lanka, central Thailand, and Singapore. Symphyodon merrillii Broth., once regarded as a synonym of S. perrottetii, is again recognized as a distinct species with its distribution in Malesia and Indochina. Symphyodon ovalifolius H.Akiyama & M.Suleiman, sp. nov. is described and classified under the subgenus Parasymphyodon H.Akiyama & M.Suleiman, subg. nov. Rheoshevockia fontana Ignatov, W.Z.Ma & D.G.Long is again demonstrated to have a unique systematic position sister to the genus Symphyodon.

Phylogenetic relationships among the members of the epiphytic genus Yakushimabryum H. Akiyama et al. and related genera (Pylaisiadelphaceae) were studied using cpDNA (rbcL, rps4, and trnL-F) gene sequences as well as morphological features. Present analyses (1) suggested the presence of three clades in the Pylaisiadelphaceae and Sematophyllaceae (Pylaisiadelphaceae s. str., Sematophyllaceae s. str. + Heterophyllioideae, and Clastobryum), and (2) confirmed the distinctive generic status of Yakushimabryum from other members of the family. One new genus Orientobryum H. Akiyama and two new species O. ovalifolium H. Akiyama and Y. brevigemmium H. Akiyama were recognized and described. In addition, a close inter-relationship of Pseudotrismegistia undulata (Broth. & Yasuda) H. Akiyama & Tsubota and Heterophyllium amblystegum (Mitt.) J. Yu et al. (= Mastopoma subfiliferum Horik. & Ando) was confirmed. Four new combinations, O. oligonema (Cardot & P. de la Varde) H. Akiyama (≡ Clastobryum oligonema Cardot & P. de la Varde), Y. subintegrum (P. Tixier) H. Akiyama (≡ Aptychella subintegra P. Tixier), Y. tonkinense (Broth.) H. Akiyama (≡ Clastobryum tonkinense Broth. & Paris), and Pseudotrismegistia amblystega (Mitt.) H. Akiyama (≡ Stereodon amblystegus Mitt.) were proposed.
