Neckera hymenodonta Müll. Hal. is reinstated from the synonymy of N. pennata Hedw. and treated as a distinct species. The morphological differences between the two are elaborated and N. hymenodonta is illustrated in line drawings. It is known from New Zealand and Australia. Neckera pennata var. tasmanica Hampe, N. aurescens Hampe and N. leptotheca Mitt. are synonymized with N. hymenodonta. Neckera pennata is excluded from the New Zealand flora.
