| description | Background and Aims: Ricciocarpos natans is one of the few species of truly aquatic hepatics. It has a subcosmopolitan distribution and appears to be more common in temperate areas. The species has been considered to be very rare in Central America where it was known only from Panama. The objective of this study is to report the presence of this species in Costa Rica and to survey its current distribution in Latin America. Methods: We provide an overview of the distribution of the floating aquatic liverwort Ricciocarpos natans in Latin America based on literature, herbarium specimens and unequivocal photographic records across the region, as well as field work in Costa Rica. Key results: Ricciocarpos natans is reported as new for Costa Rica. We provide the most complete survey to date of the geographic distribution of the species in Latin America. Conclusions: Our survey shows that Ricciocarpos natans appears to be more common and widely distributed in the Neotropics than previously assumed. Its assumed rarity seems to be the result of insufficient collection efforts. |

Tiene una distribución subcosmopolita y parece ser más común en áreas templadas. La especie ha sido considerada muy rara en América Central, donde solo se conocía de Panamá. El objetivo de este estudio es reportar la presencia de esta especie en Costa Rica y revisar su distribución en América Latina.Métodos: Brindamos una descripción general de la distribución de la hepática acuática flotante Ricciocarpos natans en América Latina con base en la literatura, especímenes de herbario y registros fotográficos inequívocos en toda la región, así como trabajo de campo en Costa Rica.Resultados clave: Ricciocarpos natans se reporta como nueva para Costa Rica. Brindamos el estudio más completo hasta la fecha de la distribución geográfica de la especie en América Latina.Conclusiones: Nuestro estudio muestra que Ricciocarpos natans parece ser más común y más ampliamente distribuida en el Neotrópico de lo que se suponía anteriormente. Su supuesta rareza parece ser el resultado de esfuerzos de recolección insuficientes.
