Electrophoretic variability in malate dehydrogenase (MDH) and peroxidase (PER) was surveyed among and within 14 described species of Riccia subgenus Riccia in the United States. Distinctive electrophoretic phenotypes were exhibited by 13 of these species. Distinctive MDH and PER phenotypes and contrasting ploidy levels support the recognition of R. dictyospora (n = 8) and R. mcallisteri (n = 16) as distinct species. Generally low but nevertheless contrasting levels of intraspecific MDH and PER variability exist among species. Geographically based genetic differ- entiation is evident in three species. Riccia L. is composed of small thallose liverworts with highly reduced sporophytes. Two subgenera, Riccia and Ricciella (A. Br.) Boulay, are generally recognized. Species of subgenus Riccia are terrico- lous and often inhabit sunny sites that are open due to shallow soil, aridity, or periodic disturbances.
