The genus Neolepidozia Fulford & J.Taylor is recorded in Indian bryoflora and N. wallichiana (Gottsche) Fulford & J.Taylor has been described and illustrated from Anjaw and Lower Dibang Valley districts of Arunachal Pradesh in Eastern Himalaya, India. The Indian plants of the species are little atypical in the size of main stem leaves and the number and size of main stem leaf-lobes, but the deviations are limited within the variations exhibited by the species across its range of distribution.
