Brid. in the Drahanská vrchovina highlands (Moravia, Czech Republic) Ivan Novotn ý & Josef Plaček Antitrichia curtipendula occurs in Europe, Macaronesia, North and Central Africa, South and West Asia, and North America. It grows on acidic rocks and boulders and also as an epiphyte on deciduous trees. It is very sensitive to air pollution and has therefore disappeared from many sites during the 20th century (Hill et al. 1994). In the Czech Republic, most records are situated at altitudes between 301 and 400 m a.s.l. The species is more frequent in south-west Moravia (Kubešová, personal communication). As for threat, Antitrichia curtipendula is classified in the category LC-att of the Czech Red data list (Kučera et al. 2012). Vondrák (2000) also published new localities of Antitrichia curtipendula from Southern Bohemia. The species has lately become rare in the Czech Republic due to air pollution and has vanished from some parts of the territory (e.g. Northern Bohemia) and declined strongly in epiphytic habitats. On the other hand, occurrences in epilithic habitats situated in Southern Bohemia and Moravia are probably not threatened. Locality: Czech Republic, Drahanská vrchovina highlands, Vyškov District, village of Nové Sady– Velká Haná valley, block of Culm greywacke, 430 m a.s.l. [WGS-84: 49°23'46'' N, 016°54'10'' E], 6 September 2012 leg. J. Plaček & I. Novotný (specimen No. 746165, deposited in BRNM). We found new locality of Antitrichia curtipentula on the left side of valley of the Velká Haná river on the Culm greywacke block. It is situated nearby historical locality discovered by Josef Podpěra at Ferdinandsko castle near the town of Vyškov in September 1913 [WGS84: N=49º22´, E=16º57´] and concerned specimens is deposited in PR (Kubešová personal communication). These localities are situated 4,8 km far-away, 123°of SE exposition. In the Drahanská vrchovina highlands, this species was found further in two microlocalities near natural monument Habrová at Černovice village in altitude 510–600 m on 30th May 2007 (Kubešová et al. 2009).
