During an investigation on the bryophytes of Gangetic plains, Archilejeunea minutilobula Udar et U. S. Awasthi has been identified at Farakka, district Murshidabad (West Bengal) which is a new addition to the Gangetic plains and West Bengal. Previously it was known from South India (Mettupalayam, Mahabaleshwar) only. The taxon belongs to subfamily Ptychanthoideae of the family Lejeuneaceae (order Jungermanniales). Family Lejeuneaceae is underexplored in the Gangetic plain region and discovery of this species from this region after five decades since its inception is very significant.
