    Abstract:

    Abstract Using morphological and molecular evidence, we describe a new genus, NeoChondria, based on specimens formerly identified as ‘Chondria tenuissima' sensu Okamura in Japan. The generitype, NeoChondria ammophila sp. nov., is not closely related to Chondria capillaris (Hudson) M.J. Wynne, the generitype of Chondria. The anatomy of NeoChondria differs from that of Chondria by the development of adventitious elongate cells between the five major pericentral cells, forming densely compact layers surrounding the axial strand, even in the ultimate branchlets. We propose the new combination, NeoChondria nidifica, based on Chondria nidifica Harvey from California, USA and Baja California, Mexico. Multigene analyses (rbcL, small subunit and cox1) and morphological observations demonstrated that N. ammophila and N. nidifica share a clade but preliminary results show that they may not belong in the tribe Chondrieae.

  • A taxonomic study of two minute species of Chondria (Ceramiales, Rhodophyta) from the north-western Pacific, with the description of Chondria econstricta sp. nov.

    Co-Authors: Masaya Tani, Michio Masuda
    Abstract:

    Abstract Morphological features of two minute species of the red algal genus Chondria (Rhodomelaceae, Ceramiales) from the north-western Pacific are described. Chondria xishaensis is characterized by the following features: (1) the axes continue to grow while producing reproductive structures (the axes begin to form reproductive structures when they are 2 mm in length, and reach 17 mm); (2) only one of the five pericentral cells in each segment produces a tetrasporangium. In C. econstricta Tani & Masuda sp. nov.: (1) the axes are prostrate and up to 25 mm long; (2) the axes and branches are terete, and their tips are usually truncate and form an apical pit; (3) the branches (except for young adventitious branches) lack constricted bases; (4) cell wall thickenings are absent; (5) the subsurface cells form irregular transverse rows alternating with wide spaces; (6) the orbicular spermatangial plates are depressed and possess a single row (or rarely, partially two rows) of sterile marginal cells; (7) the cys...
