To clarify the obscured taxonomic status of Fauriella Besch.,we carried out phylogenetic analyses inferred from cp trnL-F,rps4 and nr ITS,with increased samples of Fauriella and related genera,and Hookeria Sm.selected as outgroup.The phylogenetic trees were conducted by Bayesian analyses,ML analyses,and MP analyses.The results were as follows:(1)The final alignment used for phylogenetic analyses contained 1 744 positions,including 747 nuclear region positions and 997 plastid positions;(2)There was no significant topological conflict among the consensus trees,which showed that Fauriella clustered with the members of Pylaisiadelphaceae and indicated that Fauriella should be put into Pylaisiadelphaceae;(3)The relationship between Fauriella tenerrima Broth.and Fauriella tenuis (Mitt.) Cardot is obscured;(4)3 species of Myurella Bruch & Schimp.are clustered with the members of Plagiothecium Bruch & Schimp.,which is congruent with the point that Myurella should be transferred to Plagiotheciaceae.
