The morphology, molecular phylogeny and taxonomy of Gallium maiaprilis Hayama et al. sp. nov. (Goniaceae. Chlorophyta) were studied using clonal cultured material originating from Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. This species is similar to G. pecterale O. F. Muller and G. viridistellatum M. Watanabe in having one to three stable pyrenoids in the chloroplasts of eight- or 16-celled vegetative colonies. However, it is distinguished from G. pectorale and G. viridistellatum by the cell arrangement of the eight-celled colonies and from G. pectorale by aplanozygote morphology. Sexual reproduction of G. maiaprilis is heterothallic and isogamous, and the germinating zygote gives rise to a four-cell germ colony. Phylogenetic analyses based on the plastid large subunit of Rubisco genes and sequences for the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) (ITS-I, 5.8S rDNA and ITS-2) suggest that G. maiaprilis is separate from other species of Gonium.
