Leptodontaceae is a family of mosses belonging to the order Hypnales.[1] There are 3 genera with a worldwide distribution.
Most of the genera of family Leptodontaceae, originally came from family Neckeraceae,[2] Such as Caduciella came into Leptodontaceae in 1991.[3]
It originally comprised Alsia, Forsstroemia, and Leptodon. Recently described or relocated genera in the family include Caduciella Enroth, Cryptoleptodon Renauld & Cardot, and Taiwanobryum Noguchi (J. Enroth 1992).[4] Molecular evidence indicates that this small family may not be monophyletic.[2][5]
Family Leucodontaceae now contain Forsstroemia and Alsia.[6] Although some sources note that they are back within the Neckeraceae family.[7] Later Cryptoleptodon moved into family Pterobryaceae,[8] and Taiwanobryum moved into family Prionodontaceae.[9]
