Perssoniella vitreocincta is the only species of liverwort in the monotypic genus Perssoniella and family Perssoniellaceae. It is endemic to New Caledonia.[5]

The genus was circumscribed by Theodor Carl Julius Herzog in Ark. Bot. series 2, vol.2 on pages 168 and 265 in 1952.

Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical dry forests.[1]
