Dicranales is an order of haplolepideous mosses in the subclass Dicranidae. [1] [2]
Andreaeaceae is a family of mosses which includes two genera, Andreaea, containing about 100 species, and the genus Acroschisma. The Andreaeaceae prefer rocky habitats ranging from tropical to arctic climates, on which they form tufted colonies, typically with reddish to blackish shoots. The capsules lack the peristome mechanism and dehisce longitudinally to release the spores, resulting in a paper-lantern appearance.
Grimmiales is an order of mosses in the subclass Dicranidae. It comprises four families: Grimmiaceae, Ptychomitriaceae, Seligeriaceae, and Saelaniaceae.
The Dicranidae are a widespread and diverse subclass of mosses in class Bryopsida, with many species of dry or disturbed areas. They are distinguished by their spores; the peristome teeth are haplolepideous with a 4:2:3 formula, and an exostome is absent.
Jaffueliobryum is a genus of moss in family Ptychomitriaceae.
Andreaeobryum is a genus of moss with a single species Andreaeobryum macrosporum, endemic to Alaska and western Canada. The genus is placed as a separate family, order and class among the mosses.
Bryales is an order of mosses.
Gigaspermaceae are a family of mosses in the monotypic order Gigaspermales. The order is placed in subclass Gigaspermidae of the class Bryopsida. They were previously placed in subclass Funariidae.
Encalyptales is an order of mosses in subclass Funariidae. It contains a single family.
Fissidentaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the order Dicranales, with a single genus, Fissidens. It was formerly placed in the now-obsolete order Fissidentales.
Eustichia is the only genus of moss in family Eustichiaceae. The family was previously place in the order Dicranales, but is now placed in its own monotypic order, Eustichiales.
Bryaceae is a family of mosses.
Leucobryaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the order Dicranales.

Ptychomitriaceae is a family of mosses in the subclass Dicranidae.
Erpodiaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses in subfamily Dicranidae. It was formerly placed in order Dicranales, but is now placed in its own monotypic order, Erpodiales.
Rhachitheciaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses in the subfamily Dicranidae. It was formerly placed in the order Dicranales,<ref name=Goffinet-2020-web> but is now placed in order Rhabdoweisiales along with family Rhabdoweisiaceae.
Ditrichaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses in subclass Dicranidae. The family was previously place in order Dicranales, but it now placed in its own monotypic order, Ditrichales.
Calymperaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses (Dicranidae) in the order Dicranales.

Rhabdoweisiales is an order of haplolepideous mosses in the subclass Dicranidae. Its two families, Rhabdoweisiaceae and Rhachitheciaceae, were previously placed in Dicranales.
