A partial rbc L sequence of the lectotype specimen Corallina berteroi shows that it is earliest available name for C . ferreyrae Multilocus species delimitation analyses (ABGD, SPN, GMYC, bPTP, and BPP) using independent or concatenated COI, psb A, sequences recognized one, two, three in this complex, but only with weak support each hypothesis. Conservatively, we recognize a single worldwide complex what appears to be multiple, evolving populations. Included species, besides C. , are caespitosa morphologically distinct melobesioides and, based on holotype specimen, pinnatifolia not officinalis, cosmopolitan temperate found thus far NE Atlantic, Mediterranean Sea, warm NW Atlantic Pacific, cold SW (Falkland Islands), SE Pacific southern Australia. Also proposed yendoi sp. nov. from Hokkaido, Japan, which was as by 10 13 discrimination analyses, including multilocus BPP.
