  abstract = {{T}he brown algal genus {L}obophora ({D}ictyotales, {P}haeophyceae) is an important ecological component of tropical marine systems. {A}lthough still scantily sampled, 35 species of {L}obophora were discovered previously from the western {I}ndian {O}cean. {T}his study updates previous diversity estimates by incorporating recent collections from {M}adagascar, {M}ozambique, and the {R}ed {S}ea, considerably improving our knowledge of {L}obophora diversity and biogeography in this region. {E}ight additional species are identified from the western {I}ndian {O}cean, raising the total number of {L}obophora species to 43. {F}ifteen species are new to science and described herein. {W}ith ca. 40% of the global diversity, the western {I}ndian {O}cean is second only to the {C}entral {I}ndo{P}acific. {O}f the species identified to date, 29 appear to be restricted to the western {I}ndian {O}cean, three are shared with the {A}tlantic (four including {L}. lessepsiana introduced to the western {M}editerranean {S}ea) and 12 have a wider distribution in the {I}ndo-{P}acific. {T}he western {I}ndian {O}cean supports a high diversity with ca. 67% of its {L}obophora restricted to this region, which is comparable to the {C}entral {I}ndo-{P}acific (62%) and the {C}aribbean (61%). {T}he presence of several putative endemic species in the western {I}ndian {O}cean islands and the {R}ed {S}ea illustrates that these provinces played an important role in {L}obophora species diversification within the western {I}ndian {O}cean by producing locally new species. {T}he small number of species shared between the western {I}ndo-{P}acific and {A}tlantic indicates that this oceanic boundary - associated with the temperate {A}gulhas marine province, and the {B}enguela current and upwelling - acts as an effective dispersal barrier.},
