Taxonomy
Thylacopteris was first described by John Smith in 1875 with the name attributed to Gustav Kunze.[1] No species placed in Thylacopteris were included in a molecular phylogenetic study of the subfamily Microsoroideae in 2019,[3] so the relationship with other genera is unclear.
Species
As of February 2020, the Checklist of Ferns and Lycophytes of the World recognized the following species:[1]
- Thylacopteris diaphana (Brause) Copel.
- Thylacopteris papillosa (Blume) Kunze ex J.Sm.
