Abstract

The red algal order Bangiales has been revised as a result of detailed regional studies and the development of expert local knowledge of Bangiales floras, followed by collaborative global analyses based on wide taxon sampling and molecular analyses. Combined analyses of the nuclear small-subunit ribosomal RNA (nSSU) gene and the plastid ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase (rbcL) gene for 157 Bangiales taxa have been conducted. Sixteen genera of Bangiales, seven filamentous and nine foliose, are recognized. This includes six newly described and two resurrected genera. This revision constitutes a major change in understanding relationships and evolution in this order. The genus Porphyra is now monotypic containing solely P. purpurea. Foliose taxa previously placed in Porphyra are now recognized to belong to the genera Boreophllum gen. nov., Clymene gen. nov., Fuscifolium gen. nov., Lysithea gen. nov., Miuraea gen. nov., Pyropia, Sorora gen. nov., and Wildemania. Four of the seven filamentous genera recognized in our analyses already have generic names (Bangia, Dione, Minerva and Pseudobangia), and are all currently monotypic. The unnamed filamentous genera are clearly comprised of multiple species, and few of these species have names. Further research is required: the genus to which the marine taxon Bangia fuscopurpurea belongs is not known, and there are also a large number species previously described as Porphyra for which nSSU or rbcL sequence data should be obtained so that they can be assigned to the appropriate genus.
