Abstract:
Nine epilithic, epiphytic and endophytic species from four genera of filamentous brown algae were
collected during January 1962 and April 1993 from the coastal areas near Karachi (Pakistan) in the
northern Arabian Sea. They were taxonomically investigated, which revealed the presence of two
new species, i.e. Feldmannia nizamuddinii Aisha et Shameel and Hincksia nizamuddinii Aisha et
Shameel and two new combinations i.e. Feldmannia duchassaingiana (Grunow) Aisha et Shameel
and Hincksia conifera (Børgesen) Aisha et Shameel. Most of the species have been taxonomically
described for the first time from the coast of Pakistan.
