1996 年，资深作者有幸在西澳大利亚州偏远的豪特曼阿布罗霍斯群岛潜水，实地观察了 John Huisman 所描绘的令人惊叹的“Asteromenia peltata”（可在 AlgaeBase 上查看）。五年后，在前往百慕大和豪勋爵岛（澳大利亚热带东部）的旅行中，他在这两个地方观察并收集了与该物种有关的标本。根据它们各自在现场的外观，这些来自地理偏远地区的实体似乎不太可能代表同一物种。我们的分子结果不仅证实了这一怀疑，而且进一步表明 A. peltata sensu lato 构成了至少五个不同物种的复合体。我们将 A. peltata 限制为在北大西洋西部（亚）热带发现的两个物种之一，本文中的第二个描述为 A. bermudensis sp。十一月来自西澳大利亚的样本代表了一种未描述的物种，A. exanimans sp。十一月，同时从豪勋爵那里收集到两个实体......
The senior author was fortunate in 1996 to dive on the remote Houtman Abrolhos Islands of Western Australia and view in situ the stunning “Asteromenia peltata” that is so strikingly illustrated by John Huisman (viewable on AlgaeBase). Five years later, during excursions to Bermuda and Lord Howe Island (tropical eastern Australia), he observed and collected specimens referable to this species in both these localities. Based on their respective appearances in the field, it seemed unlikely that these entities from geographically remote regions represented the same species. Our molecular results not only confirm this suspicion, but further indicate that A. peltata sensu lato constitutes a complex of at least five distinct species. We restrict A. peltata to one of two species found in the western (sub)tropical North Atlantic, the second described herein as A. bermudensis sp. nov. Samples from Western Australia represent an undescribed species, A. exanimans sp. nov., while two entities collected from Lord Howe ...
