Encalypta tibetana appears to be most closely related to E. rhaptocarpa s. str. The well-developed peristome, ribbed capsules and basal leaf cells with thickened, reddish walls, and a narrow, marginal border of yellowish cells are typical features of the latter taxon. Encalypta tibetana differs from E. rhaptocarpa in having its leaves muticous, costa ending at the apex or below the apex, and in having short capsules and calyptrae. However, these features have been observed in arctic and other alpine populations that have been regarded as E. rhaptocarpa s. lat. Future study on the E. rhaptocarpa-E. vulgaris complex may prove that E. tibetana and E. rhaptocarpa are synonymous.

Autoicous. Perichaetial leaves similar to upper stem leaves. Setae erect, 3.5–7.0 mm long; capsules oblong-ovate, erect, about 1 mm long, mouth contracted, with distinct reddish longitudinal ribs; peristome single teeth, lanceolate, hyaline above, yellowish and perforate below, densely papillose throughout; opercula with a long, straight beak.
