Resumo

Palisada corallopsis has a widely reported distribution in the western and eastern Atlantic and some areas of the Indo-Pacific Ocean, whereas P. furcata has a more restricted distribution, reported only from Brazil and Cuba. Palisada corallopsis and P. furcata were collected from their type localities, Havana, Cuba and Cear & aacute;, Brazil, respectively, and compared by morphological and molecular analyses using rbcL and COI-5P genes. The molecular results placed the sequences from the type locality of both species in the same clade, showing low genetic divergence, 0.95 % for rbcL and 1.6 % for COI-5P. Morphologically, the species share similar habits, with branchlets bi-to trifurcated, cortical cells that may be arranged as a palisade and connected by secondary pit-connections. Our detailed morphological observations, including examination of the type specimens, and molecular analyses demonstrate that P. corallopsis and P. furcata are conspecific, P. furcata being a later taxonomic synonym of P. corallopsis.
