Abstract:
Mallomonas marsupialis is described and illustrated by TEM and SEM micrographs,
being found in Australia on sub-tropical Fraser Island and in cool-temperate Tasmania.
Its taxonomic location within the genus Mallomonas (sect. Mallomonopsis, ser.
Marsupiales) is discussed, together with its inclusion in a suite of unusual endemic
algae which have been described from Australian sites largely protected from human
interference.
