Entodon seductrix is one of several moss species previously described and named as one species, Neckera seductrix by Johann Hedwig. He was a German botanist who made many contributions to the study of mosses and is sometimes called the “father of bryology”. His description and naming of Neckera seductrix was published in Species Muscorum Frondosorum posthumously in 1801.{{Cite web|url=http://scihi.org/johann-hedwig-bryology/|title = Johann Hedwig – the Father of Bryology| date = 8 December 2017}}
