Notes:
A Mougeotia C. A. Agardh population with a particular combination of vegetative and reproductive traits, not shared by any other known species of the genus, appeared in a temporary pond of Argentina. Therefore, a new species is proposed and discussed: M. mesocarpiana sp. nov. This species is characterized by having spheric to doliiform zygospores with a thin exospore and a double thick granulated mesospore.
