Arctoa fulvella (Dicks.) Bruch & Schimp. is reported for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere from Isla Navarino (Chile) in the Tierra del Fuego archipelago. The species (and genus) is established as another bipolar moss disjunct and its global range is reviewed and mapped. Bipolar disjuncts in mosses are placed into two categories: taxa with intermediate stations in tropical and subtropical regions and those without intermediate occurrences in intertropical regions. Trans-American bipolar mosses belonging to each of these two groups are listed.
