 | | The class Anthocerotae comprises a single order, the Antherocerotales, which in turn comprises only one of two familys, the Anthocerotaceae, and some place the genus Notothylas in its own family, the Notothyaceae. |
 | | Five to nine genera are recognised, including Anthoceros, Megaceros, Dendroceros, Phaeoceros (sometimes, as here, treated as a subgenus or partial synonym of Aspiromitus or Anthoceros), Folioceros, and Notothylas. |
 | | These are widely distributed in temperate and tropical latitudes; all genera found in tropics and subtropics; most found on moist mineral soil of banks and cliffs, among grasses, and along streams, from sea level to alpine elevations. |
