Freshwater Red Algae

Abstract

The order Batrachospermales of the subclass Nemaliophycidae is composed of exclusively freshwater members. This order is comprised of 21 genera and houses more than two-thirds of the freshwater species diversity for the Rhodophyta. Seven of the genera (Acrocarposporophycos, Genadendalia, Lympha, Notohesperus, Petrohua, Psilosiphon, and Tuomeya) are monospecific. Kumanoa is the most diverse with 41 species. Sheathia, Nothocladus, and Paludicola each have 15 or more species, whereas the other genera have a more modest number from three to nine. Two new genera (Genadendalia and Notohesperus) are proposed as well as new species in Paralemanea, Lemanea, and Torularia. Although Balliopsis and “Chantransia azurea” have been shown to be unique lineages within the order, they are not described in the chapter because they most likely represent “Chantransia” stages.
