First report of Halopeltis (Rhodophyta, Rhodymeniaceae) from the non-tropical Northern Hemisphere: H. adnata (Okamura) comb. nov. from Korea, and H. pellucida sp. nov. and H. willisii sp. nov. from the North Atlantic

Collections from the mesophytic zone off Bermuda reveal three species of Kallymeniaceae (Gigartinales, Rhodophyta) in genera with transoceanic distributions

“…Asteromenia peltata from the western Atlantic genetically joins species from Western Australia and Cocos I., while A. bermudensis groups with a new species from Norfolk I. . Genetic sequences of Halopeltis pellucida 422 from Bermuda and Halopeltis willisii from North Carolina show that these species do not group together as sister species from the Atlantic Ocean, rather they join two different Indo-Pacific region clades within this widespread genus (Schneider et al 2012).…”

“…Since our collaborative work began more than a decade ago, we have reported on a great number of algal genera from Bermuda with genetic biogeographic connections to the Indo-Pacific region, in most cases from Australia. These include Asteromenia , Crassitegula (Schneider et al , 2014a, Halopeltis (Schneider et al 2012), Meredithia (Schneider et al 2014b), Ethelia (Dixon et al 2015) and Dasya (Schneider et al 2017). Some of these studies describe Bermuda taxa whose closest known genetic relative is from the Indo-Pacific rather than any known species from the Atlantic (Crassitegula, Halopeltis and Meredithia).…”

Unveiling mesophotic diversity in Hawai‘i: two new species in the genera <italic>Halopeltis</italic> and <italic>Leptofauchea</italic> (Rhodymeniales, Rhodophyta)

“…The order has a complicated taxonomic history, including the addition or removal of multiple families, beginning shortly after its establishment by Schmitz (Schmitz 1889, Le Gall et al 2008. Recent studies have clarified phylogenetic relationships in the order and have resulted in new taxonomic additions at multiple levels; for example, the proposal of the families Fryeellacae and Hymenocladiacae, establishment of the genera Neogastroclonium L. Le Gall, Dalen and G. W. Saunders and Pseudohalopeltis G. W. Saunders, resurrection of the genus Halopeltis J. Agardh, and proposals for a number of new species (Gavio and Fredericq 2005, Afonso-Carrillo et al 2006, Dalen and Saunders 2007, Le Gall et al 2008, Schneider and Lane 2008, Rodríguez-Prieto and de Clerck 2009, Saunders and McDonald 2010, Schneider et al 2012, Filloramo and Saunders 2015, Santiago et al 2016.…”

Diferenciación morfológica y molecular en el complejo <i>Rhodymenia corallina</i> (Rhodymeniaceae, Rhodophyta) de Perú central

“…Estudios de diversidad alfa en Rhodymenia y la familia Rhodymeniaceae han demostrado la utilidad del uso de marcadores moleculares en la delimitación de especies dentro de complejos morfológicos que resultan de la monotonía morfológica o la plasticidad fenotípica, especies crípticas, o especies ampliamente distribuidas (Ballantine et al 2010, Saunders & McDonald 2010, Schneider et al 2012, Filloramo & Saunders 2016a, 2018. A pesar de que no existen en la literatura trabajos filogenéticos de Rhodymenia de Perú, R. corallina ha sido representada con 2 secuencias rbcL incluidas en el alineamiento de trabajos recientes, ambas obtenidas de especímenes recolectados en Coquimbo, Chile (Gavio & Fredericq 2003, Schmidt et al 2016.…”
