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
