Fabroniaceae is a family of mosses belonging to the order Hypnales.[1] It has a worldwide distribution, in temperate and tropical regions.[2]

The Fabroniaceae were established by Schimper (in 1855) to accommodate three genera: Fabronia Raddi, Anacamptodon Brid. and Anisodon Schimp.(= Clasmatodon Hook. & Wilson). Only Fabronia is still considered a member of the family (Buck & Goffinet 2000; Goffinet & Buck 2004; Goffinet et al.2009). The Fabroniaceae are well represented in the tropics with few species occurring in the North Temperate Zone.[3]
