<p>The first record of Micromitriaceae Smyth <em>ex</em> Goffinet &amp; Budke, represented by <em>Micromitrium wrightii</em> (Müll. Hal.) Crosby, is reported for northern Argentina. Micromitriaceae are a monotypic family of cleistocarpic, ephemeral mosses, separated from the Ephemeraceae J.W.Griff. &amp; Henfr. by molecular analyses. This family is distinguished by the presence of a minute calyptra, a dehiscence line on the capsule, and the absence of stomata. <em>Micromitrium wrightii</em> is a cleistocarpic species characterized by the small size of the plants, linear-lanceolate leaves, the proximal ones weakly costate, irregularly rhomboidal and smooth laminal cells; a persistent calyptra, and large spores. Based on samples collected in Río Pilcomayo National Park reserve (Formosa – Argentina), the monotypic family Micromitriaceae, represented by <em>Micromitrium wrightii,</em> is reported for the first time in Argentina. A complete description with illustration under Light Microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy, and a dichotomous key to distinguish this taxon with related species of the Ephemeraceae, are presented here.</p>
