Molecular and phylogenetic analyses support the establishment of the new genus Neoverlaquea gen. nov. (Rhodophyta, Ceramiales, Rhodomelaceae) for the Mediterranean Polysiphonia sertularioides
Within the family Rhodomelaceae several taxa exhibit significant cryptic diversity and high phenotypic plasticity, requiring the employment of molecular data for the accurate delimitation of genera and species. Among these, the genus Polysiphonia sensu lato has been demonstrated to be polyphyletic, and several new gene...
