discussion
NOTES This was morphologically characterized by Schneider (2004: figs 5 - 7) based on material from Bermuda, showing the nodal development and the presence of pseudoperiaxial cells. We chose a sequence (GenBank [AF 259491]) from Yucatan, Mexico, to represent this species as it was obtained from close to the type locality, Honduras, and showed 3 - 4 % genetic divergence (rbc L) from Pseudoceramium brevizonatum (H. E. Petersen) Barros-Barreto & Maggs, comb. nov. and P. oliveirarum Barros-Barreto, Maggs & M. A. Jaramillo, gen. nov., sp. nov.
