Popis: Studies of New Zealand Kallymeniaceae have revealed a great deal of diversity, providing new perspectives on relationships within the family and necessitating the establishment of new genera. Based on rbcL, cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (COI), psbA sequence analyses and morphological observations, we reassessed the phylogenetic relationships of three endemic species from southern New Zealand. A new genus, Blastophyllis, was established to accommodate two distinctive species, currently known as Callophyllis hombroniana and Callophyllis calliblepharoides. Phylogenetic analyses revealed that these species were distantly related to Callophyllis sensu stricto, including the generitype Callophyllis variegata from Chile. Blastophyllis had compressed thalli consisting of branches with short side proliferations and protruding cystocarps developed on the lateral proliferations. Zuccarelloa gen. nov. was established to accommodate a peculiar species erroneously referred to the genus Gelidium, as Gelidium ...
