Abstract Two new Ethelia (Etheliaceae, Rhodophyta) species are described from Puerto Rico and a third from the Bahamas. None were found at both locations. All three differ from previously described Ethelia species in possessing ventral rhizoids as well as possessing variably extensive ventral parenchymatous outgrowths. Ethelia crassa has been collected at a shallow-water, high wave energy site in southwestern Puerto Rico and at an exposed site at Mona Island. The species forms highly conspicuous orange encrustations that are thicker than any other Ethelia species. Ethelia crassa also possesses prominent mesothallial vein cells. A second Puerto Rican species, Ethelia magnieni, restricted to habitats greater than 60 m depth, also forms thick encrustations and is characterized by its very small cortical filaments, 3.0 μm in diameter. The third, Ethelia excrescens, is from deep-water Bahamian habitats and possesses dorsal surface projections as well as extensive parenchymatous ventral outgrowths. SSU DNA sequencing performed on E. magnieni and E. crassa confirmed their placement in the genus as well their status as independent species.
