Diplectria and Macrolenes are regarded as separate genera and species traditionally classified within the latter have not been included. Dissochaeta leprosa, D. reticulata, and D. sagittata are reinstated as species. Dissochaeta gracilis is the most common species of Dissochaeta and D. bracteata is the rarest one. There are no endemics for the island. Each taxon is provided with literature references, synonymy, morphological descriptions, distribution, ecological habitat, collector's notes, and notes.
