|discussion=<p>The distribution of <i>Campylopus pilifer</i> in tropical America, tropical Africa, and Sri Lanka (but not other parts of Asia) suggests a Gondwanaland origin, from where the species has extended its range into warmer parts of North America and southwestern Europe. Until 30 years ago this species was not distinguished from <i>C. introflexus</i>, and accordingly all old references from North America must be referred to <i>C. pilifer</i>. The true <i>C. introflexus</i> has been a neophyte in North America since 1975.</p>
