Specimens of Fissidens located in the herbarium of the Hattori Botanical Laboratory and those which were sent from other countries for identification were used in this study. We recognized 40 species of Fissidens in the collection made by Dr. Heinar Streimann (Australia) in Papua New Guinea. In this collection, we identified 3 species as new to science. We also studied 53 specimens of Fissidens collected by Mr. T. Kamiyama in South Sulawesi (Indonesia). We recognized in this collections, 21species of Fissidens in which 10 species are new additions to the area. Fissidens benitotanii was described from Peninsular Malaysia as a new species. A species of Fissidens, F. longisetus was newly reported from Japan, based on the material collected in Shizuoka-ken.
