Resumo

Specimens attributed to the genus Lithophyllum were collected during multiple surveys conducted along the Brazilian coast. These specimens were studied using DNA sequences from three molecular markers (COI5P, psbA, rbcL) and comparative morphoanatomical analyses. This approach revealed eight distinct, well-supported lineages: two currently known species, Lithophyllum atlanticum and L. kaiseri; four new species, L. brasiliense sp. nov., L. pseudomargaritae sp. nov., L. solis sp. nov. and L. tomitae sp. nov.; and two additional lineages that remain unresolved as the available data were incongruent or insufficient. Lithophyllum pseudomargaritae was morpho-anatomically similar but distantly related to sequences from the type locality of specimens morphologically identified as L. margaritae. This study confirms the occurrence of cryptic/pseudocryptic coralline diversity in the Brazilian flora. (AU)
