Cephalozia macrostachya Kaal. has been recently found in the ‘Swamp’ mire near Doksy (Northern Bohemia). The following revision of herbarium specimens of Cephalozia loitlesbergeri Schiffn. revealed one more specimen of C. macrostachya, collected already in 1965 in the Krušné hory Mts. The habitat preferences for both species in Central Europe are discussed and it is assumed that while C. loitlesbergeri is a clearly upland species of open, acidic raised bogs, C. macrostachya seems to prefer lowland poor fens or lagg parts of bogs in middle altitudes.
