Taxonomy
The family Catoscopiaceae has traditionally been considered part order Bryales.[1] However, phylogenetic analyses have found Catoscopium to be the earliest branching group in Dicranidae, as part of a grade of protohaplolepidous lineages.[3][5] Catoscopiaceae is placed in the monotypic order Catoscopiales.[6]
