Abstract:
An overview of the literature changes in the systematics of algae in the order Laminariales (Phaeophyta)
based on molecular phylogentic data is given. In a recent taxonomic revision by Lane et al., [45], the
number and status of the families traditionally included in the order have been revised. One family was transferred
to the order Tilopteridales; a new family, the Costariaceae, was described; and the genus
Laminaria
was
split into 2 genera,
Laminaria
and a newly resurrected genus
Saccharina.
These innovations have necessitated
a systematic revision of the Far Eastern species of the Laminariales. Our genetic studies indicate that 2 species
of
Laminaria
and 12 intraspecific taxa (1 subspecies and 11 forms) from the Russian Pacific coasts should be
transferred to the genus
Saccharina.
The following new nomenclatural combinations are proposed:
Saccharina
bongardiana
, comb. nov. (including 4 forms: f.
bifurcata
, f.
subsessilis
, f.
subsimplex
, f.
taeniata
) and
Saccharina
gurjanovae
, comb. nov. (including f.
lanciformis
). In addition, new nomenclature combinations are proposed
for intraspecific taxa of the
Laminaria
species (
L. angustata, L. cichorioides, L. japonica
) that have
already been transferred to the genus
Saccharina
[45]. These include
S. angustata
subsp.
sibirica
, comb. nov.,
4 new combinations for the forms of
S. cichorioides
(f.
coriacea
, f.
sacchalinensis
, f.
sikotanensis
, and
f.
sinuicola
), and 2 new combinations for the forms of
S. japonica
(f.
diabolica
, and f.
longipes
). The taxonomic
status of the rest of the members of the Laminariales known from the seas of the Russian Far East is discussed.
Laminariaceous algae in this area represent 6 of the 8 known families currently included in the Laminariales
(Chordaceae, Pseudochordaceae, Alariaceae, Arthrothamnaceae, Laminariaceae, and Costariaceae).
