Fissidens hyalinus, F. flabellulus, and F. ganguleei are reported new to mainland China, and a second collection of F. brevinervis is reported from Guangdong Province. As a result of a Sino-American Botanical Expedition to Yunnan (1984), and a Sino-American Bryological Expedition to Xishuangbanna and Guangdong (1986-1987), the following new distribution records are reported.
