Abstract
Six species of marine algae are reported from Malaysia for the first time and their characteristic features are described: Hildenbrandia rubra (Sommerfelt) Meneghini (Hildenbrandiales, Hildenbrandiaceae); Grateloupia filicina (Lamouroux) C. Agardh (Cryptonemiales, Halymeniaceae); Taenioma perpusillum (J. Agardh) J. Agardh, Taenioma dotyi Hollenberg and Zellera tawallina Martens (Ceramiales, Delesseriaceae), and Amansia rhodantha (Harvey) J. Agardh (Ceramiales, Rhodomelaceae). The occurrence of Taenioma dotyi in Malaysian waters is the first report outside the Hawaiian Islands. Amansia rhodantha is newly recorded for the Pacific Ocean. The presence of Gelidiella pannosa (Feldmann) Feldmann et G. Hamel (Gelidiales, Gelidiaceae) in Malaysia is confirmed.
