The genus Entosthodon is recognized by its erect and symmetric capsules which are narrowly pyriform. E. rubrisetus
has filiform, long acuminate leaves and a well-developed single peristome. The spores are separate at maturity rather than sticking
together in tetrads. The leaves are not bordered by narrow cells, and indeed near the apex have thin walled, inflated
cells that project outwards to form a serrate margin with rounded "teeth". The leaf costa ends several cells short of the apex.
E. rubrisetus is found growing on soil under rocks on
dry canyon walls in the bootheel of New Mexico.
