  abstract = {{L}iagora ceranoides, originally described from the {V}irgin {I}slands in the {C}aribbean {S}ea, has been widely reported from the {I}ndo-{P}acific but can easily be confused with other species/ genera of the {L}iagoraceae in the field. {I}n this study, we examined the vegetative and reproductive morphology of {L}. ceranoides-like specimens from {T}aiwan and {N}ew {C}aledonia in the western {P}acific {O}cean and from {W}estern {A}ustralia in the eastern {I}ndian {O}cean, and we inferred their phylogenetic relationships along with related genera on the basis of rbc{L} sequence analyses. {T}he molecular analyses demonstrated that the {L}. ceranoides-like specimens clustered into two distantly related clades that were characterized reproductively: clade {I} possessed unfused postfertilization carpogonial-branch cells and slightly diffuse gonimoblasts and clade {II} (including specimens from the type region of {L}. ceranoides) had fused postfertilization carpogonial-branch cells and compact gonimoblasts. {W}e therefore proposed the new genus and species {Y}oshizakia indopacifica to include the specimens identified in clade {I}. {O}ur phylogenetic analyses indicated that {L}iagoracean genera with relatively long involucral filaments and unfused carpogonial branches were closely related. {Y}oshizakia was readily separated from related genera by a combination of the behaviour of the carpogonial-branch cells and the development of involucral filaments and gonimoblasts following presumed fertilization. {I}n addition, our rbc{L} sequence analyses have confirmed the previously suggested occurrence in the northeast {I}ndian {O}cean and the southwest {P}acific {O}cean of {T}itanophycus setchellii, {N}eoizziella asiatica and {M}acrocarpus perennis, all originally described from the northern or central {P}acific {O}cean.},
