Abstract

The collection of epiphyllous liverworts was continued in 2020 at the low elevations of Batanta Island in the tropical rainforest belt by the entomologist Tibor Kovács and his colleagues, which were iden- tified by Tamás Pócs. The collection resulted in 21 species of which 7 proved to be new to Batanta Island: Cheilolejeunea intertexta, Cololejeunea amphibola, C. falcata, C. papillosa, Colura ari, C. tenuicornis and Lejeunea exilis, along the species already known from the previous collections. One previous identification was corrected. The results of 4 years collecting activity resulting in 35 species known from Batanta Island is summarised.
