- Observation Phylogenetic reconstruction suggests numerous taxonomic changes within the Neckeraceae.
- Observation Taiwanobryopsis is described as a new genus to accommodate Neckera warburgii.
- Observation Indoneckera is described as a new genus to accommodate Neckera himalayana.
- Observation Seven Asian Neckera species are transferred to Forsstroemia.
- Observation A further four Asian species are transferred to Taiwanobryum.

- Observation Neckera is characterized by lack of paraphyllia (except N. californica) and an absent or weak costa.
- Observation Alleniella has two species in the northern hemisphere, the first diverging lineages.
- Observation Most Alleniella species occur in tropical mountain habitats.
- Observation Alleniella is absent from tropical Asia and very scarce in Asia in general.
- Observation Twelve of the 15 Alleniella species have paraphyllia, the clearest distinction from Neckera.
- Observation Forsstroemia with 19 species, concentrated in Asia, is the largest genus in the Neckeraceae.
- Observation Forsstroemia has a clearly longer and more distinct costa than Neckera and Alleniella.
- Observation Taiwanobryum is a morphologically heterogeneous Asian genus of nine species.
