Pseudococcomyxa simplex (Mainx) Fott Reference: Novis et al . 2008: 353–354, Fig 3A–I. Observations:— Previously, only data for rbc L were available for this species from Mt Philistine. The 18S data presented here show that Pseudococcomyxa simplex from Mt Philistine is a close relative of P. simplex UTEX 274 (Fig. 8). Both of these strains belong to a clade that includes species of Coccomyxa as well as Paradoxia spp. This clade is distinct from a second clade comprising other species of Coccomyxa clearly this genus is polyphyletic and requires revision. Interestingly, the oblique division plane characteristic of Pseudococcomyxa (Broady 1987, Novis et al . 2008) is also evident in Paradoxia multiseta Svirenko 1928 during vegetative division (Hegewald & Reymond 1987). Some species currently regarded as Coccomyxa , such as C. confluens (Kützing) Fott 1974, appear to share this feature (Ettl & Gärtner 1995), although how it is distributed phylogenetically is presently unclear. It may be a morphological feature that can be used to separate the two clades. : Published as part of Novis, Phil M. & Visnovsky, Gabriel, 2012, Novel alpine algae from New Zealand: Chlorophyta, pp. 1-30 in Phytotaxa 39 on page 25, DOI: 10.11646/phytotaxa.39.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/4894684 : {"references": ["Novis, P.
