Summary: Virescentia guangxiensis, a new species of Virescentia from Guangxi, South China, is distinguished by special expansion cells and supported by molecular data for separation from other species. This study contributes to the understanding of freshwater Rhodophyta diversity and distribution in China.

Summary: This study investigated the species richness and phylogeny of Batrachospermum and similar genera in 54 streams of the Iberian Peninsula. DNA sequence data showed biogeographic trends with most species well represented in Europe, and confirmed seven taxa previously reported in the region. Batrachospermum gelatinosum and Sheathia boryana were the most frequent species, while Virescentia vogesiaca was previously unreported in the Iberian Peninsula.

Summary: A new species of the freshwater red algal genus Kumanoa, Kumanoa periyarensis, is described based on morphology and genetic data. It is distinguished from other species by its unique combination of morphological characters and is genetically distinct from its sister species, Kumanoa tabagatenensis.

Summary: A new species of Kumanoa, K. chaugulei, was described from a major tributary of the Periyar River in Kerala, India. It shows distinct characteristics compared to other related species and further exploratory surveys are needed to understand the diversity of freshwater rhodophytes in this biodiversity hotspot.

Summary: A new genus of freshwater red algae, Macrosporophycos, and a new species, M. sahyadricus, were discovered in the Periyar River in Kerala, India. The new species shares some characteristics with Montagnia, but has significant genetic differences, suggesting convergent evolution in morphology. This study highlights the need for further taxonomic research on red algae in the Indian subcontinent.

Summary: A new homocorticated species of freshwater red algal genus Sheathia, named Sheathia yunnanensis, is described and illustrated from Yunnan, China. Phylogenetic analyses based on DNA sequence data and morphological characteristics were used to identify this new species and distinguish it from other species. This study expands the diversity of Sheathia species in China.

Summary: This study analyzed the phylogeographic patterns of two co-distributed macroalgal species along the coast of Korea and Japan, revealing their weak genetic differentiation and shared haplotypes. P. lanceolata showed higher genetic diversity and wider distribution compared to P. elliptica, indicating different adaptability to environmental changes.

Summary: A study found that Montagnia macrospora, a freshwater red alga, has successfully invaded the freshwater ecosystems of Taiwan. It was introduced through the global aquarium trade from South America and has widespread distribution in Taiwan. The alga lacks genetic diversity in Taiwan, indicating it expanded through asexual reproduction. It shows ecological plasticity and can survive in a wide range of environmental conditions. This study highlights the importance of conservation planning and management for invasive freshwater algae.

Summary: Twelve putative Chantransia isolates were collected from multiple locations in China and evaluated using hierarchical cluster analysis to classify phylogenetic relationships. The morphological similarities among the isolates make it difficult to distinguish them based solely on morphology.

Summary: This study investigated the genetic variation and species relationships of Mimica arnoldii, a member of the Eucheumatoids genus, as well as whether its two distinct morphological expressions have genetic differences. The results showed that Mimica is a distinct genus and that the molecular data did not correspond to the morphology-based varieties.

Summary: This study describes a new genus and species of freshwater red alga called Pauciramus yunnanensis. Based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis, a new order called Ottiales is proposed, which includes the genera Ottia and Pauciramus. The findings suggest a close relationship between Pauciramus and Ottia, and they are classified within the family Ottiaceae.

Summary: This study used a dual barcode method to molecularly characterize and identify microalgae isolated from freshwater systems in Ecuador, reporting DNA barcodes for 20 Chlorophyta and 10 Cyanophyta MOTUs. Results indicate the necessity of a second barcode for improved molecular identification and contribute to Ecuadorian barcode sequences of microalgae.
