  abstract = {{S}argassum is one of the morphologically most complex phaeophyceaen genera, and is divided into subgenera, sections, subsections, series and species groups based on highly polymorphic characters. {R}ecent {DNA} analyses have highlighted incongruities in the traditional classification of the genus and especially within {S}argassum subg. {S}argassum sect. {A}canthocalpicae. {O}ur goal was to re-assess the relationships among taxa currently attributed to this section in the {P}acific basin. {W}e undertook the taxonomic study in two main steps: ({I}) the morphological examination of large collections from inter-tropical {P}acific islands and type specimens from worldwide localities; and (2) {DNA} analyses using a set of three markers ({ITS}-2, partial rbc{LS}-operon, cox3). {M}orphological and {DNA} analyses confirmed that {S}. sect. {A}canthocarpicae is based on unsuitable morphological characters and is not monophyletic. {O}n the basis of this study, we propose (1) abandoning subsections within {S}. sect. {A}canthocarpicae; (2) synonymization of {S}. sect. {A}canthocarpicae and sect. {M}alacocarpicae with sect. {S}argassum; and (3) the elevation of {S}. ser. {I}licifoliae and ser. {B}inderianae to sectional rank as well as their re-description according to new sets of morphological characters.},
