Abstract
In this chapter we compare the results from four earlier phylogenetic analyses of the moss family Meteoriaceae. Based on our previous studies we review the current state concerning the generic relationships within the family. Phylogenies are used to evaluate the views of morphological evolution within the family and to pinpoint the synapomorphies of the major clades. However, due to limited sampling size for most of the genera, phylogenies can be used in only a few cases to detect the generic synapomorphies and the monophyly of the genera. In the majority of the analyses the family Meteoriaceae was divided in two stable clades, which we recognize here as subfamilies: Meteorioideae Broth., including Chrysocladium M. Fleisch., Diaphanodon Renauld & Cardot., Meteorium (Brid.) Dozy & Molk., Papillaria (Mull. Hal) Lorentz and Trachypus Reinw. & Hornsch.; and Meteoriopsoideae subfam. nov., with Aerobryidium M. Fleisch. ex Broth., Aerobryopsis M. Fleisch., Barbella M. Fleisch. ex Broth., Barbellopsis Broth., Duthiella Mull.
