Description
Summary:Okellya marina (Womersley) Wetherbee, comb. nov. Basionym: Uronema marinum (‘ marina ’) Womersley, The Marine Benthic Flora of Southern Australia. Part I: 131, figs 41D, E (Womersley 1984). TYPE MATERIAL. — Australia • South Australia, Coffin Bay, Kellidie Bay; holotype: AD-A31827. TYPE LOCALITY. — Australia, South Australia, Coffin Bay, Kellidie Bay. NOTES Nineteen species have been described or transferred to Uronema (Guiry & Guiry 2023), all but two restricted to freshwater habitats. The only marine species are the North Atlantic U. curvatum (Okellya curvata) and the Australian U. marinum (Okellya marina (Womersley) Wetherbee, comb. nov.). The two former marine Uronema species differ from the freshwater representatives of the genus in zoosporangial and apical cell morphology (usually tapering). The generic placement of U. curvatum has been debated by Rueness (1992) and Kornmann & Sahling (1994), who already suggested a relationship with the Cladophorales or Ulotrichales.
