Distributional note
"Besides the species treated in the key,
from the Mediterranean area was reported, but
only from the Black Sea (Ribera et al., 1992),
Myrionema balticum (Reinke) Foslie. This species,
with a cold boreal distribution, distinguishes
from the related M. strangulans, in showing
uniseriate, plurilocular (rarely with few oblique
divisions) cysts up to 150 µm long and borne only
at the end of short erect filaments [uniseriate
(rarely biseriate) up to 45 µm long, both sessile
on prostrate filaments and at the end of short erect
filaments, in M. strangulans]." (Cormaci et al. 2012: 196). - (27 August 2015) - M.D. Guiry
