Av undirættini Lithophylloideae vórðu funnin hesi sløg: Lithophyllum crouanii, L. incrustans, L. orbiculatum, Titanoderma corallinae, T. laminariae og T. pustulatum, tað seinasta við trimum viðurkendum frábrigdum: T. pustulatum var. pustulatum, var. confine og var. macrocarpum. Eis- ini varð koralltari, Corallina officinalis (Corallinoideae) staðfestur. Trý av hesum sløgum og frábrigdum vórðu funnin fyri fyrstu ferð í Føroyum. Utbreiðsla av teimum funnu sløgunum verður samanborin við úrslitunum frá øðrum nýligum kanningum av skorpualgum í NE Atlantshavi (Danmark, Bretsku Oyggjunum og einum øki í Vesturnoregi). Abstract A study of coralline red algae, based on extensive col- lections from the Faroe Islands, has revealed the follow- ing species of the subfamily Melobesioideae: Clathro- morphum circumscriptum, Lithothamnion glaciale, Melobesia membranacea, Phymatolithon laevigatum, P. lenormandii, P. purpureum and P. tenue. Of the sub- family Lithophylloideae the following species were recorded: Lithophyllum crouanii, L. incrustans, L. or- biculatum, Titanoderma corallinae, T. laminariae and T. pustulatum, the latter with three recognized varieties: T. pustulatum var. pustulatum, var. confine and var. macrocarpum. Furthermore, Corallina officinalis (Cor- allinoideae) was observed. Three of the taxa are new re- cords for the Faroe Isles. The distribution of the record- ed species is discussed in relation to other recent studies of coralline red algae in the northeastern North Atlantic, (Denmark, the British Islands and a district in Western Norway). Introduction Between 1994 and 1997 extensive collec- tions were made of the marine algae and fauna in shallow water around the Faroe Is- lands as part of the BIOFAR project. The aim was to produce an inventory of all the species present. The most comprehensive study of the coralline red algae at the Faroe Islands was published by Børgesen (1902). He recorded 11 crustose species identified by H. M. Fos- lie and Corallina officinalis. A check list of the macroalgae at the Faroe Islands, based on collections in 1980 (Irvine, 1982), in- cludes the coralline species reported by Børgesen (1902) and confirms some of the records with new observations. This paper presents the identified taxa of coralline red algae, observed in the exten- sive BIOFAR collections and represents epilithic species and larger epiphytic speci- es. The identified species belong to the sub- families Corallinoideae, Lithophylloideae and Melobesioideae. Fróðskaparrit 49. bók 2001: 37-43
