What is Polysiphonia sensu lato (Ceramiales, Florideophyceae) species of Caribbean Panama including Polysiphonia lobophoralis sp. nov. and Polysiphonia nuda sp. nov. about?

## Abstract Only two species of __Polysiphonia sensu lato__ (predominately species of __Polysiphonia__ and __Neosiphonia__) have been reported from Caribbean Panama. In contrast, 16 species are documented from the neighboring countries of Costa Rica and Colombia. Molecular-assisted identification using plastid-encoded ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase large subunit gene (__rbc__L) and mitochondria-encoded cytochrome __c__oxidase subunit I gene (COI) loci identified 14 species from 38 samples collected along the Caribbean coast of Panama. Morphological character states were examined and used to identify each sample, and phylogenetic relationships among these species were estimated through maximum likelihood analyses of __rbc__L and nuclear-encoded SSU sequence data. __Neosiphonia ferulaceae__, __N. tongatensis__, __Polysiphonia binneyi__, __P. havanensis__, __P. macrocarpa__, __P. pseudovillum__, __P. schneideri__, __P. subtilissima__, and two species that could only be identified as __P. cf. sertularioides__ are reported for the first time from Panama. __Polysiphonia pentamera__, a species only known from the eastern Pacific is reported for the first time in the Carib
