03E2625F3005FFBCFF02D66CFA85C9E2.taxon	materials_examined	Type: BM No. 000769632, Easdale, Argyll, Scotland (from the back of a limpet), 23. vii. 1998, colls. J. Brodie & P. K. Hayes, with a cox 1 sequence (Genbank accession number: DQ 442891) reported in Robba et al. (2006) Philippine record of distribution: Manila Bay. Note: Ulva umbilicalis Linnaeus (1753: 1163) is currently recognized as the basionym of Po. umbilicalis (Brodie et al. 2008). The reduction of the Philippine record of U. umbilicalis to Po. umbilicalis (Ang et al. 2014) is unsubstantiated. The only Philippine specimen identified as U. umbilicalis was collected from Manila Bay by Blanco (1837, 1845, 1879). The same material used by the former was later described by Martens (1868: 47) as Zonaria gymnospora, now Padina gymnospora (Kützing) Sonder (1871: 47). Later, Merill (1905, 1918) identified Blanco’s material as Padina australis Hauck (1887: 44). The current accepted taxonomic name for Blanco’s U. umbilicalis specimen is P. australis, whose distribution is common throughout the Philippines (Silva et al. 1987).	en	Dumilag, Richard V., Aguinaldo, Zae-Zae A., Mintu, Cynthia B., Quinto, Myrna P., Ame, Evelyn C., Andres, Rolando C., Monotilla, Wilberto D., Yap, Sandra L., Cao, Ernelea P., Vital, Pierangeli G., Fontanilla, Ian Kendrich C.

Pham-Hoang Ho (Tanaka & Ho 1962) Philippine record of distribution: Unstated. Note: The record of Py. vietnamensis for the Philippines is only reported in the list, A verification of reports of marine algal species from the Philippines in Ang et al. (2014). The references however which the authors cited did not refer to any Philippine Py. vietnamensis samples. This species is thus excluded.	en	Dumilag, Richard V., Aguinaldo, Zae-Zae A., Mintu, Cynthia B., Quinto, Myrna P., Ame, Evelyn C., Andres, Rolando C., Monotilla, Wilberto D., Yap, Sandra L., Cao, Ernelea P., Vital, Pierangeli G., Fontanilla, Ian Kendrich C.

Kjellman Philippine record of distribution: Bataan (Orion). Note: Aside from the uncertainty of the collection site, Cordero (1974) commented that the voucher specimen under the name Po. variegata, which was identified by Velasquez et al. (1973) suited the morphological features common to Rhodymeniacean species and that he was certain that there was no Bangiales specimen in Velasquez et al. ’ s collection (Cordero 1977, p. 17).	en	Dumilag, Richard V., Aguinaldo, Zae-Zae A., Mintu, Cynthia B., Quinto, Myrna P., Ame, Evelyn C., Andres, Rolando C., Monotilla, Wilberto D., Yap, Sandra L., Cao, Ernelea P., Vital, Pierangeli G., Fontanilla, Ian Kendrich C.

Note: Zeneveld (1956, 1959) also applied the name Po. atropurpurea to all the edible foliose Bangiales referable to Hawaiian limu, without any taxonomic treatment. The absence of traceable material for the Philippine Po. atropurpurea that might be used to resolve its nomenclatural stability will hamper any attempt on the species’ future taxonomic clarification.	en	Dumilag, Richard V., Aguinaldo, Zae-Zae A., Mintu, Cynthia B., Quinto, Myrna P., Ame, Evelyn C., Andres, Rolando C., Monotilla, Wilberto D., Yap, Sandra L., Cao, Ernelea P., Vital, Pierangeli G., Fontanilla, Ian Kendrich C.

Gutierrez Philippine record of distribution: Ilocos Norte. Note: On the basis of overlapping morphologies, Ogawa (2001) raised the possibility that Po. marcosii is conspecific with Py. vietnamensis. It is of special interest to investigate based on type materials and recently collected specimens from the type locality of Po. marcosii. The name is considered unverified as the holotype material needs to be confirmed using a DNA sequencing approach as well as morphological re-investigation to resolve its phylogenetic placement.	en	Dumilag, Richard V., Aguinaldo, Zae-Zae A., Mintu, Cynthia B., Quinto, Myrna P., Ame, Evelyn C., Andres, Rolando C., Monotilla, Wilberto D., Yap, Sandra L., Cao, Ernelea P., Vital, Pierangeli G., Fontanilla, Ian Kendrich C.

Cribb Philippine record of distribution: Cagayan, Ilocos Norte. Note: The whereabouts of the voucher specimen used by Quisumbing (1951) is unknown and there might also be a potential misapplication on the use of Py. denticulata for the Philippine record. This species is known to be restricted to Australian waters (Levring 1953; Sutherland et al. 2011) while its disjunct distribution in Yemen was recorded with uncertainty (Ormond & Banaimoon 1994). Womersley & Conway (1975) suggested that Py. denticulata is a mere synonym of Pyropia columbina (Mont.) W. A. Nelson (Sutherland et al. 2011: 1143), a species whose distribution confined in ocean basins of southern hemisphere (Nelson & Broom 2010) but neither reported in the Philippines (Silva et al. 1987) nor the Indian Ocean (Silva et al. 1996).	en	Dumilag, Richard V., Aguinaldo, Zae-Zae A., Mintu, Cynthia B., Quinto, Myrna P., Ame, Evelyn C., Andres, Rolando C., Monotilla, Wilberto D., Yap, Sandra L., Cao, Ernelea P., Vital, Pierangeli G., Fontanilla, Ian Kendrich C.

Petersen Philippine record of distribution: Cavite (Corregidor Is.), Ilocos Norte (Burgos), Cagayan (Palaui Is., Sta. Ana). Note: Sequenced materials of Py. tanegashimensis (Dumilag et al. 2016) suggest that records of specimens previously known as Py. suborbiculata from Palaui Is., Cagayan (Cordero 1974) may have been misidentified. Cordero (1977) described conspecific specimens from Ilocos Norte to display “ no mark of taxonomic differences ” from those found in the former site. Molecular analysis on foliose Bangiales specimens collected from the similar site reported in Monotilla & Notoya (2004), i. e., Burgos, Ilocos Norte, have indicated the presence only of Py. acanthophora (Dumilag & Aguinaldo 2017). Although Py. suborbiculata is widely distributed throughout Asian waters (Yoshida 1998; Monotilla & Notoya 2004; Tsutsui et al. 2005) and is known to have been introduced to the Atlantic United States, New Zealand, Canary Islands, Brazil and Iberian Peninsula (Broom et al. 2002 and references therein; Milstein & Oliviera 2005; Vergès et al. 2013), its presence in the Philippines is yet to be confirmed until actual materials are sequenced.	en	Dumilag, Richard V., Aguinaldo, Zae-Zae A., Mintu, Cynthia B., Quinto, Myrna P., Ame, Evelyn C., Andres, Rolando C., Monotilla, Wilberto D., Yap, Sandra L., Cao, Ernelea P., Vital, Pierangeli G., Fontanilla, Ian Kendrich C.

Coll Philippine record of distribution: Camiguin Is., Ilocos Norte (Burgos, Pagudpud), Cagayan (Aparri, Claveria, Sta. Praxedes, Sta. Ana), Pamocton Island. Note: Confirmed Py. acanthophora materials from the Philippines include populations with multiple haplotypes that are closely associated to other native conspecifics found in the Indo-Pacific region. So far, Py. acanthophora is the most widely distributed foliose Bangiales in the Philippines. Phylogenetic and haplotype analyses showed that populations from thirteen sites in the northern Philippines showed high genetic variation characteristic of endemic populations. The genetic structure of Philippine populations of Py. acanthophora exhibited a chaotic patchiness pattern wherein populations displayed highly site-exclusive haplotypes with wide genetic variability but lacked corresponding local geographic patterns (Dumilag & Aguinaldo 2017).	en	Dumilag, Richard V., Aguinaldo, Zae-Zae A., Mintu, Cynthia B., Quinto, Myrna P., Ame, Evelyn C., Andres, Rolando C., Monotilla, Wilberto D., Yap, Sandra L., Cao, Ernelea P., Vital, Pierangeli G., Fontanilla, Ian Kendrich C.

I. Shinmura Philippine record of distribution: Palaui Is., (Sta. Ana, Cagayan). Note: The infrequently reported Pyropia tanegashimensis was described for the first time in the Philippines, viz. Palaui Is., Sta. Ana, Cagayan (Dumilag et al. 2016). The morphological characteristics and phylogenetic affinity of Philippine Py. tanegashimensis among other related Pyropia species were explored. The frequently misidentified Py. suborbiculata that was previously reported from the same site has been confirmed as Py. tanegashimensis based on comparative analyses of plastid rbc L and mitochondrial COI- 5 P gene sequences. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that Philippine populations of Py. tanegashimensis are endemic and are distinct from the known endemic populations from Japan and to the introduced strain found in Brazil.	en	Dumilag, Richard V., Aguinaldo, Zae-Zae A., Mintu, Cynthia B., Quinto, Myrna P., Ame, Evelyn C., Andres, Rolando C., Monotilla, Wilberto D., Yap, Sandra L., Cao, Ernelea P., Vital, Pierangeli G., Fontanilla, Ian Kendrich C.
