Type Information
Holotype locality: Kumano, Mie Prefecture, Japan; (Uwai et al 2005: 188) Holotype: 27 March 2001; Endo-epiphytes on cyano-bacterial thalli that grew on the red alga Grateloupia ramosissima Okamura; SAP; SAP095046 (Uwai et al 2005: 188, 181) Notes: Holotype: Microslide from unialgal clonal culture. Isotype: Same material as the holotype, microslides (SAP 095047, 095048) deposited in SAP.
General Environment
This is a marine species.
Description
Thalli are filamentous and prostrate. Axes are mono- or oligostichous. Cells contain 2-8 oblong chloroplasts aggregating together and radiating from proximal pyrenoids. Unilocular zoidangia are 20 -25 microns long by 15-20 microns wide, sessile, ovate to elliptical, laterally formed on axes. Unizoids lack an eyespot. Plurilocular gametangia are intercalary or terminal in axes. Sexual reproduction is anisogamous. Gametes lack an eyespot.
