The name Mesophyllum erubescens has been applied to protuberant rhodolith specimens which sometimes occur abundantly, as well encrusting in tropical and temperate waters the Western Pacific, Indian Atlantic Oceans. A DNA sequence, representing about 20% of rbcL gene, was obtained from 140 year old holotype specimen collected Fernando de Noronha Archipelago by Challenger Expedition. This sequence identical field-collected topotype ranging south along coast Brazil. Sequences for psbA these...
:Plastid-encoded rbcL and psbA sequences from branched, Caribbean Sea Lithophyllum specimens indicate that four species are present, not one. Short (263 base pairs) an isolectotype of L. kaiseri (Gulf Suez) the holotypes congestum, daedaleum platyphyllum (Caribbean Sea) show congestum conspecific with kaiseri, last having nomenclatural priority. platyphyllum, currently considered a synonym is recognised as valid species. stictaeforme, originally described Mediterranean Sea, (as congestum)...
Abstract The recognition of non-indigenous marine macroalgae in New Zealand and the potential pathways vectors contributing to their arrival were discussed by Nancy Adams 1983 along with a list 14 species she considered be “possibly naturalised”. In following 38 years many more have been identified as non-indigenous, few which become widespread invasive around Zealand. We present an updated 61 taxa that we consider introduced archipelago, highlight range issues associated species,...

Lithothamnion muelleri is reported for the first time as one of main components rhodolith beds along Eastern Pacific Ocean based on samples from Washington State (USA), Baja California (México), southern Nicaragua, and Costa Rica.Individual rhodoliths ranged fruticose to lumpy in morphology, bi-sporangial, tetrasporangial, gametangial plants were similar those described Australia Brazil.Our study revealed a surprisingly wide latitudinal distribution this species American continent.Its...
