({R}hipileae) and {R}hipiliospina gen. nov. ({R}hipiliopsideae). {F}inally, we validated {R}hipiliella {K}raft and included it in the tribe {R}hipileae. {A}lthough {R}hipilia and {R}hipiliopsis have a pantropical distribution, none of the species studied here appeared cosmopolitan; instead, they have restricted distributions.}, keywords = {{C}hlorophyta ; {K}raftalia gen nov ; macroalgae ; phylogeny ; {R}hipiliaceae ; {R}hipiliospina gen nov ; siphonous ; species delimitation ; {PACIFIQUE}}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{J}ournal of {P}hycology}, volume = {[{E}arly access]}, numero = {}, pages = {[22 ]}, ISSN = {0022-3646}, year = {2021}, DOI = {10.1111/jpy.13186}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010082242}, }
