“…Its diaphragms have also 8-10 cells across axes segmented, beaded (below, with cystocarps), segments about as broad as long, filled with a watery mucilag. But, it is clearly distinguished from C. compressa by its cylindrical axes and branching pattern (Ballantine & Lozada Troche, 2008;N'Yeurt & Payri, 2010;Moussa et al, 2015). (Figure 3) This species, which was described from Klein Piscadera, Curacao, Netherlands Antilles (Van den Hoek, 1978), widely reported in the western coast of the Atlantic ocean and Pacific Islands (Guiry & Guiry, 2018), so that their presence in Morocco merely extends their range.…”

We report new records and corological data for three Moroccan marine macroalgae that complete their distribution information. Radicilingua thysanorhizans is new record for Morocco; Champia compressa is recorded for the first time from the eastern coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Diplothamnion jolyi is widely distributed in the western coast of the Atlantic coast and Pacific Islands, and recently reported from the Mediterranean Sea; this new record from Moroccan Atlantic coast extends their distribution range.Key words: Algae, Atlantic Ocean, Champia compressa, Diplothamnion jolyi, Radicilingua thysanorhizans.ResumenSe aportan nuevos registros y datos corológicos para tres macroalgas marinas de Marruecos, que completan la información sobre su distribución. Radicilingua thysanorhizans es cita nueva para Marruecos. Champia compressa se registra por la primera vez en la costa oriental del Océano Atlántico. Diplothamnion jolyi se distribuye ampliamente en la costa occidental de la costa atlántica y las islas del Pacífico y ha sido recientemente citada en el mar Mediterráneo; esta nueva cita para costa Atlántica Marroquí amplia su rango de distribución.Palabras clave: Algae, Océano Atlántico, Champia compressa, Diplothamnion jolyi, Radicilingua thysanorhizans.

“…In general, the Moroccan coast remains poorly studied, if compared to other biogeographic regions. In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in its algal biodiversity (Riadi et al, 2013;Moussa et al, 2015;Salhi et al, 2016;Hassoun et al, 2014Hassoun et al, , 2016aHassoun et al, -b, 2018.…”

“…Inventories began with that of Riadi and Kazzaz (1998), Riadi et al (2000) and Kazzaz and Riadi (2000), who assign to the country 455 taxa at specific and intraspecific level, this followed soon afterward by the publication of Benhissoune et al (2001;2002a, b; which were more detailed and confirmed 612 species and intraspecific taxa, 15 taxa excludenda and 35 taxa inquirenda of the benthic marine algal flora of Morocco. More recently, we added 23 species (Riadi et al 2011(Riadi et al , 2013Hassoun et al 2014;2015a, b, 2016Moussa et al 2015). Despite these advances, much work remains to be done on the marine benthic flora of Morocco as relatively few habitats have been extensively studied.…”

Background: The rhodymenialean red algal species Rhodymenia holmesii was collected in the lower intertidal zones from Dalya and Al-Hoceima (Northern Morocco, Mediterranean Sea). This represents the first record and description in the Mediterranean Sea. Results: Moroccan materiel was studied in detail and compared with other closely related species. Descriptions of the morphological features reveal thalli with flaccid blades, 8 cm long, regularly dichotomously branched and attached with stoloniferous holdfast. Anatomically, cortical region composed of 2-3 cell layers and medulla composed of 3-5 cell layers. Conclusions: This finding indicates that the biodiversity of the related sites is probably richer than generally thought, and other phycological studies will increase the known algal biodiversity of the region.
