Abstract:
This study was divided into two parts. In the first one, two algae of Kallymeniaceae from the coast of
Liaoning Province were examined on the basis of morphology and rbcL sequence analyses. In the
second, two algae of Polyopes J. Agardh in Halymeniaceae, respectively from the coast of Liaoning
Province and Shandong Province, were examined on the basis of morphology and the observation of
the early stage of life history, and cultivated these two algae in the laboratory. The results are as
follows:1) The alga from Dalu Island in Liaoning Province, whose accession number is
LNNUDLD091105, is a new species with the name of Callophyllis flabelliformis H.W.Wang et
Y.W.Sheng sp.nov.2) The algae from Guanglu Island in Liaoning Province, whose accession numbers
respectively are LNNUGLD0910001and LNNUGLD0910007, are new records of Psaromenia
berggrenii (J.Agardh) DArchino, W.A.Nelson&Zuccarello in China.3) Based on the absence of any
mature isomorphic tetrasporophyte amongst the collections, DArchino considered that it was highly
likely Psaromenia berggrenii had a heteromorphic life history or one in which there was a departure
from a triphasic life history involving isomorphic gametophytes and tetrasporophytes. However, the
specimen of LNNUGLD0910007in this study is tetrasporophyte, and it should be that P. berggrenii
has a triphasic life history involving isomorphic gametophytes and tetrasporophytes.4) P. tenuis
Womersley&Lewis from Xinghai Park in Dalian, whose accession number is LNNUXHGY1109011,
has a direct crust type of sporogenesis in the early stage of life history. The details of sporogenesis are
as follows:the initial cell developed from carpospore had two types of division, one was irregular
dichotomy division, the other was tribetral division. And at last, the initial cell directly formed crust at
the original position.5)P. constrictus (Turner) J.Agardh from Luxun Park in Qingdao, whose accession
number is LNNUXHGY1109023, has an indirect crust type of sporogenesis in the early stage of life
history. The details of sporogenesis are as follows:the initial cell developed from carpospore had
zonate division; as it kept dividing, the rod-like cells formed;one terminal part of rod-like cells
germinated round crust. 6) The types of sporogenesis in the early stage of life history are different
between P. tenuis and P. constrictus. It showed interspecific differences. As a result, the species of
Polyopes can be distinguished from the type of sporogenesis in the early stage of life history.
