Abstract:
Four new species, Eudesme huanghaiensis Ding et Lu, E. qingdaoensis Ding et Lu, E. shandongensis Ding et Lu
and Sphaerotrichia huanghaiensis Ding et Lu, from the western Yellow Sea coast of China are described. Eudesme
huanghaiensis is mainly characterized by its spherical or sub-spherical sub-cortical cells, its rhizoidal filaments
developing from the basal cells of sub-cortex and its broad sub-cortical and medullary layers. E. qingdaoensis is
mainly characterized by its long medullary cells, generally hollow center of the medulla, short sub-cortex with
only 3–4 cylindrical cells and long, slender and clavate terminal cells of the rhizoidal filaments. E. shandongensis
is mainly characterized by its hollow frond, thick cell walls of both medulla and inner sub-cortical layers and
the spherical terminal cells of the rhizoid filaments. Sphaerotrichia huanghaiensis is mainly characterized by its
cylindrical, sparsely branched frond with acute angle, and its thick 5–6 layered sub-cortex with long assimilating
filaments of 6–10 cells.
