Okinawan coasts are a rich source of biodiversity, including of filamentous cyanobacteria, owing to their habitat diversity created by coral reefs. Along the coastlines of Okinawa, several undescribed species, including those fromNeolyngbya, remain unexplored. In this study, two undescribed cyanobacterial species with morphological resemblance toNeolyngbyawere identified using a polyphasic approach. Both taxa had morphological features similar to known species ofNeolyngbya; however, the cell size and thallus shape were different. Phylogenetic analyses of the 16S rRNA gene and the 16S‐23S rRNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region showed that the two new species formed a highly supported independent subclade withinNeolyngbya. Accordingly, three informative domains of the ITS region (D1‐D1′, Box B and V3) also presented distinct secondary structures compared to previously described species ofNeolyngbya, both in structure form and configuration. Overall, analyses of morphology and phylogeny of the 16S rRNA gene and the 16S‐23S rRNA ITS region, as well as the secondary structures of ITS region, supported the proposal of two new species withinNeolyngbya. Herein, we proposeN. intertidalissp. nov. andN. latusasp. nov. as new members ofNeolyngbyaunder the provisions of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants (ICN).
