Diagnostic Characteristics
Lophozia longidens is most similar to Anastrophyllum helleranum.

Lophozia longidens differs in being about twice as large, with leaves that are cupped at the base, but not trough-shaped along their length, and in having 2-celled gemmae. It is a very common and widespread species. Soderstrom (1993) found Lophozia longidens most often on tree bases rather than rotten logs.

Anastrophyllum helleranum is a small, red-gemmiferous, log dwelling leafy liverwort. Gemmae area 1-celled and leaves are trough-shaped and bi-lobed.
