Abstract

The minute red alga Crouania pumila (Callithamniaceae: Rhodophyta), recently described from the Caribbean Sea, is reported for the first time from the Red Sea, approximately 12,000 km from the type locality, based on microscope slide specimens collected 40 years ago by Dr. Yaacov Lipkin. These samples contribute new information regarding the reproduction of this algal species.
