Two species of macroalgae (chlorophytes) are newly added to Cuban marine flora, collected in Cienfuegos Bay, Cienfuegos province and Santa Lucia Bay, Pinar del Río province: Cladophora blomquistii C. Hoek, and Udotea fibrosa D.S. Littler & M.M. Littler. C. blomquistii represents a new record for the Caribbean region; this taxon was previously known only from coastal lagoons from the west coast of Florida, the northeastern corner of the Gulf of Mexico. Comments about taxonomy, ecology and biogeography of the involved taxa are also discussed in this paper.
A partir de muestras colectadas en la bahía de Cienfuegos y de Santa Lucía (Pinar del Río), se identificaron dos nuevos registros de macroalgas marinas (clorofitas) para Cuba: Cladophora blomquistii C. Hoek y Udotea fibrosa D. S. Littler & M. M. Littler. C. blomquistii se registra por primera vez para la región del Caribe ya que se había consignado solo para lagunas costeras de la Florida, y la parte noreste del golfo de México. Se ofrecen además comentarios sobre la taxonomía, ecología y biogeografía de las mencionadas especies.
