Abstract:
A new species of Cladophorella, C. netzahualpillii Galicia & Novelo, is described from the walls of some tanks of brackish water near Texcoco Lake, Mexico. The characteristic features of this cladophoroid filamentous alga are its reproduction by spores, the absence of a system of prostrate filaments with only a few rhizoids and the simultaneous germination of series of akinetes to form a pseudoparenchymatous basal system. The thallus forms tufts 45 mm high, with mainly spherical intercalary and terminal akinetes, which have a lamellated wall and a thick sheath. The sporangia are mainly terminal and cylindrical or triangular in shape with spherical or oblong spores.
