Abstract

ABSTRACT Sequences were obtained for 58 podolampadacean single cells from France, Reunion Island (French territories) and Japan (6 SSU rDNA only, 40 SSU+LSU and 12 LSU only). The sequenced taxa belong to five of the eight described genera: Podolampas, Blepharocysta, Lissodinium, Gaarderiella and Mysticella. Two new genera, Alatosphaera and Pseudalatosphaera, were erected to accommodate ‘Blepharocysta’ hermosillae and ‘Blepharocysta’ denticulata. Most genera are well supported by concatenated LSU–SSU rDNA phylogenies, with the least support for Lissodinium. Metabarcoding of podolampadaceans using the V4 region of SSU rDNA showed a resolution too low to discriminate genera or species. Roscoffia and Cabra are here considered podolampadaceans, whilst Lessardia is considered to belong in a separate family. The relationship of Rhinodinium to the Podolampadaceae needs further study. Desmoschisis was recorded for the first time in Alatosphaera and Pseudalatosphaera. Several ribotypes need further study to attribute a species name to them.
