Microlejeunea strasbergii J. Bardat & C. Ah-Peng is described from Réunion Island. It differs from Microlejeunea africana Steph. in the larger lobule, the incurved distal margin of the lobe and the apical tooth of the lobule that is almost in contact with the distal margin of the lobe. The new species is described, illustrated, its IUCN status assessed, and an identification key for the genus is provided for the Mascarene archipelago (Réunion, Mauritius and Rodrigues).
