Asterocolax denticulatus (Tokida) Feldmann et G. Feldmann, 1951, a New Representative of Delesseriacean Algae (Ceramiales: Rhodophyta) in Coastal Waters of Kamchatka (Russia)

摘要

In the course of floristic studies, we succeeded in finding Asterocolax denticulatus (Delesseriaceae: Ceramiales: Rhodophyta) in the Pacific waters near the coast of Kamchatka for the first time. This alga is an adelphoparasite that colonizes other algae of the family Delesseriaceae. The studied species is briefly characterized and illustrated and its distribution range is determined.
