| Abstract |
The present paper updates, from an insular perspective and with a historical approach, the knowledge of the species taxonomic richness of the benthic marine macroalgae of Hispaniola Island. Here, 393 infrageneric taxa are documented: 375 species, 1 subspecies, 6 forms and 11 varieties distribute in 5 classes, 27 orders and 61 families; with 41 taxa in Ochrophyta, 221 in Rhodophyta y 131 in Chlorophyta. For Dominican Republic 294 taxa are compiled and 284 for Haiti (with 185 shared). Fourteen taxa have type localities on the island: 5 Dominican and 9 Haitian. A list of institutions that house material collected in Hispaniola and the distribution map with the collection locations, are offered. In the context of the Greater Antilles ecoregion, the knowledge of marine macroalgae from Hispaniola shows some progress, but new research is needed to raise our inventories to thefigures for Cuba and Puerto Rico. |
