Abstract
Three Caribbean species of Callithamnion are recognized to be species of Aglaothamnion. The life history of Aglaothamnion herveyi (Howe) com b. nov., completed in culture, was a Polysiphonia type, but this speci es also reproduced by propagules in both gametophytic and tetrasporoph ytic plants. Propagules recycled their respective phases. Aglaothamnio n herveyi is typically covered with fine sediment, making the plant ve ry inconspicuous in the field. The morphology and taxonomic status of Aglaothamnion felipponei (Howe) comb. nov. is clarified, and Aglaotham nion uruguayense (W. Taylor) comb. nov. is proposed.
