摘要
The aim of this study was to describe the new rhodolith-forming coralline alga species, Sporolithon yoneshigueae sp. nov., based on both morpho-anatomical and molecular data. Specimens were collected in rhodolith beds between 28 and 66 m depths in northeastern and southeastern Brazil. The new species can be distinguished from all other species of the genus Sporolithon by its wide tetrasporangial compartment pore diameter (35-43 mu m) and the correspondingly large number (19-24) of rosette cells surrounding the tetrasporangial compartment pore. Phylogenies inferred from psbA and SSU markers support it as a new species within Sporolithon with interspecific genetic divergence varying from 8.86-10.94 %, and 3.67-4.63%, respectively. Observations from recent gathering and from herbarium collections show that specimens previously designated as Sporolithon mediterraneum in Brazil correspond to Sporolithon yoneshigueae.
