Abstract:
An investigation of the red alga Grateloupia aucklandica from New Zealand subantarctic islands revealed that this species belongs in the genus Glaphyrosiphon. Phylogenetic analysis using rbcL data indicated that Grateloupia aucklandica, found on Auckland and Campbell Islands (50–52.5°S), was more closely related to Gl. chilensis, a species reported from Chile, than to either of the two New Zealand species, Gl. intestinalis and Gl. lindaueri.
