ture this phase is morphologically distinct between
species (Brodie and Irvine, 2002).
Morphology: rose-red spots in calcified material, con-
sisting of uniseriate filaments with alternate or op-
posite branches. Cells cylindrical or irregularly
swollen to globular.
* Erythrocladia irregularis Rosenv. (Fig. 2A.
B)
Reference: Kornmann and Sahling (1985).
Stations: 1283, 1903.
Sublittoral, 5-10 m depth.
Remarks: collected in August-September: monospo-
rangia present. Epiphytic on Palmaria palmala (L.)
Kuntse and Desmarestia viridis (O.F.Mull.)
J.V.Lamour.
Morphology: thallus microscopic, bright red, prostrate
filaments forming irregular patches on host.
* Erythrotrichia bertholdii Batters (Fig. 2C,

Stations: 1003, 1005, 1008, 1017, 1117, 1118, 1140,
1305.
Sublittoral, 0-20 m depth.
Remarks: collected in June-July and September. Epi-
phytic on Polysiphonia stricta (Dillwyn) Grev.,
Pterosiphonia parasitica (Huds.) Falkenberg,
Ptilota gunneri P.C.Silva, Maggs & L.M.Irvine,
Desmarestia aculeata (L.) J.V.Lamour., Ectocar-
pus siliculosus (Dillwyn) Lyngb., Cladophora ru-
pestris (L.) Kiitz. and epizoic on a hydroid.
Morphology: thallus microscopic, purple-red, erect,
unbranched filaments, uniseriate below, becoming
multiseriate and cylindrical above. Attached by 2-3
elongated basal cells.
Erythrotrichia carnea (Diiiwyn) j.Agardh (Fig.
2E)
Erythrotrichia ceramicola (Lyngb.) Aresch.
Reference: Kommann and Sahling (1985), Rosenvinge
(1909).
Stations: 1041, 1042, 1043, 1116, 1119, 1127, 1272,
1275, 1349, 1682, 1686.
Littoral to 15 m depth.
Remarks: collected in April, June-July and September.
Epiphytic on Ceramium rubrum (Huds.) C.Agardh,
Cystoclonium purpureum (Huds.) Batters, Polysi-
phonia fucoides (Huds.) Grev., Desmarestia
viridis, Laminaria faeroensis Børgesen, Dic-
tyosiphon ekmanii Aresch., D.foeniculaceus

branched, uniseriate filaments. Attached by a sin-
gle expanded cell.
Porphyra amplissima (Kjellm.) Setch. & Hus
(Fig. 1)
Porphyra miniata (C.Agardh) C.Agardh f. amplissima
(Kjellm.) Rosenv.
References: Bird and McLachlan (1992), Brodie and
Irvine (2002).
Stations: 1046, 1111, 1116, 1119, 1126, 1127, 1137,
1274, 1359, 1360, 1776.
Sublittoral, 0-15 (-20) m depth.
Remarks: collected in May-July and September.
Morphology: blade can be one or two cells thick, obo-
vate. Margins usually with ruffles (folds in the
frond). These become very apparent in herbarium
specimens extending from near middle of blade.
Stipe often conspicuous, up to about 1 mm. Male
gametangial and zygotosporangial sori marginal,
intermixed on the same blade. Older specimens
with paler yellowish margins where male gametan-
gia and spores have been released.
Herbarium specimens: pink to pink-magenta, adhering
well and integrating with the paper, making it hard
to distinguish the edge of pressed specimens by
feel, whereas it is possible with the other sublittoral
species P. miniata.
