The following new records from Apulia are reported: Halarachnion ligulatum (Gigartinales, Rhodophyta), Gelidiella sp. (Gelidiales, Rhodophyta) and Batophora sp. (Dasycladales, Chlorophyta). The first record extends the distribution area of H. ligulatum to the south of the Adriatic Sea, where it was only known from the Gulf of Trieste. The attribution of Gelidiella sp. to an undescribed taxon is supported by a long-term study. The occurrence of the tropical genus Batophora, previously recorded only from the Carribean area and from the Canary Islands, is reported for the first time in the Mediterranean.

Abstract
The following new records from Apulia are reported: Halarachnion ligulatum (Gigartinales, Rhodophyta), Gelidiella sp. (Gelidiales, Rhodophyta) and Batophora sp. (Dasycladales, Chlorophyta). The first record extends the distribution area of H. ligulatum to the south of the Adriatic Sea, where it was only known from the Gulf of Trieste. The attribution of Gelidiella sp. to an undescribed taxon is supported by a long-term study. The occurrence of the tropical genus Batophora, previously recorded only from the Carribean area and from the Canary Islands, is reported for the first time in the Mediterranean.File in questo prodotto:
