Söderström et al. (2016) note that 'Mastigobryum is congeneric with Bazzania, but many species have not been studied recently and thus not transferred. It is possible that some prove to be older names of existing taxa when their identities are known. Grolle and Piippo (1984) could not study Mastigobryum ledermannii, Mastigobryum londbergii and Mastigobryum longifolium since the types were destroyed in B'
