Abstract
A new species of the gigartinalean red algal genus Phacelocarpus, of the monogeneric family Phacelocarpaceae, is reported and described for the first time from Fiji, South Pacific. Phacelocarpus neurymenioides differs from other members of the genus in having a fairly broad blade (up to 9 mm wide) with indeterminate branches irregularly placed on the midrib with determinate ramuli forming the alae terminating in serrations less than ten percent of the blade width, and stalked nemathecia borne on the center of the midrib. In its vegetative morphology, P. neurymenioides bears a remarkable ressemblence to the genus Neurymenia, with which it may occur in nature.
