Buxbaumia minakatae S. Okamura was first reported for Pennsylvania from Allegheny County as B. indusiata Brid. A reexamination of this collection confirmed its identity. New distribution records of Buxbaumia minakatae are also added for Fayette and Westmoreland counties. The differences separating B. minakatae and B. aphylla are seta size, capsule orientation, and urn shape. A lectotype of B. subcylindrica Grout is chosen from the Grout herbarium induke.
