Abstract A new species,
Marginariella parsonsii
(Seirococcaceae, Phaeophyta), is described from the Bounty and Antipodes
Islands, southern New Zealand. The genus
Marginariella is endemic to New
Zealand, with two widespread species,
M. boryana and
M. urvilliana.
This new species can be distinguished from the other members of the genus
as it lacks vesicles, possesses very narrow, strap-like fronds, and is
restricted to the Bounty and Antipodes Islands to the south-east of the New
Zealand mainland.
