The reproductive structures, early development and carotenoid composition ofUmbraulva kuaweuweu, which is a deep-water ulvacean species recently reported from Hawaii, are reported for the first time using the specimens collected by dredging at ~30 m depth from Ogasawara Islands and Mageshima in southern Japan. AlthoughUmbraulva kuaweuweuhad siphonaxanthin as inU. japonica, a characteristic carotenoid ofUmbraulva, U. kuaweuweulacked α-carotene and β-carotene.U. kuaweuweudiffered markedly fromU. japonicain thallus morphology and reproductive structures: cell shape, presence/absence of inner rhizoidal filaments in the upper parts of thalli, solid/partly saccate thalli, and developmental processes of zoids. Multigene concatenated DNA sequences of chloroplastrbcL andtufA genes, and nuclear 18S, 5.8S, 28S rDNA and rDNA ITS1 and ITS2 regions indicated separation ofU. kuaweuweufrom the clade comprised of the generitypeU. japonica, U. amamiensis, U. dangeardiiandU. kaloakulau. In conclusion, based on the distinctive morphology, life history, carotenoid composition and molecular phylogeny, we propose the establishment of a new genusRyuguphycusgen. nov. to accommodateU. kuaweuweu, asR. kuaweuweucomb. nov.
