A partir de muestras colectadas en el litoral de la provincia de Cienfuegos se registraron cinco nuevos hallazgos de macroalgas marinas (rodofitas) para Cuba: Dasya ocellata (Gratel.) Harv. in Hook., Griffithsia schousboei Mont. in Webb var. anastomosans E.C. Oliveira, Gelidium torulosum Kützing, Halymenia pseudofloresii Collins & M. Howe y Champia vieillardii Kützing. Griffithsia schousboei var. anastomosans y Gelidium torulosum, que a su vez son nuevos registros para la región del Caribe, son dos taxa conocidos solo para Brasil. En el presente trabajo se ofrecen además comentarios sobre la taxonomía, ecología y biogeografía de las mencionadas especies. Destaca asimismo, la amplia variabilidad en tamaño y diámetro de las ramas de Halymenia pseudofloresii, como en su localidad tipo (Bermuda).
Five species of macroalgae (rhodophytes) are newly added to Cuban marine flora, all collected in the coast of Cienfuegos province: Dasya ocellata (Gratel.) Harv. in Hook., Griffithsia schousboei Mont. in Webb var. anastomosans E.C. Oliveira, Gelidium torulosum Kützing, Halymenia pseudofloresii Collins & M. Howe and Champia vieillardii Kützing. Griffithsia schousboei var. anastomosans and Gelidium torulosum represent new records for the Caribbean region; these taxa were previously known only from Brazil. Comments about taxonomy, ecology and biogeography of the involved taxa are also discussed offered in this paper. It is noteworthy that Halymenia pseudofloresii showed a great variability in size and branches diameter, as in its type locality (Bermuda).
