The calcified encrusting brown algal genusNewhousiais reported from three new archipelagos in the Pacific: (1) Society Islands, French Polynesia; (2) Guam, Mariana Islands; and (3) Vanuatu.Newhousiapresents a simple morphology consisting of small, rounded, two-layered calcified blades with limited interspecific variability in morphological features. Consequently, resolving cryptic diversity inNewhousiarequires molecular phylogenetics. Bayesian and maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees, based on the concatenatedcox1,cox3,psbA,rbcL and 18S rDNA sequences, supported a sister relationship ofNewhousiawithLobophora/Zonariaclade. Analyses revealed five distinct evolutionary lineages withinNewhousia. Genetic variation between the lineage from Guam and the two hitherto knownNewhousiaspecies,N. imbricatafrom Hawaii andN. yaghafrom Papua New Guinea, warrant the description of one new species,N. sumayensis sp. nov. The other two lineages, from the Society Islands and Vanuatu, were identified as geographically distinct populations ofN. imbricatawith limited genetic variation, rather than independent species. In the Society Islands,N. imbricatais common between depths of 10 m and 20 m as unattached spherical structures, or attached to hard substrate. In Guam,N. sumayensis sp. nov. grows abundantly in sciophilous habitats at depths of 10–21 m. We provide the first documentation of spores for this genus and of structures resembling plurilocular antheridia. Increased sampling throughout the Indo-Pacific region is required to further elucidate the distribution range and patterns of species richness inNewhousia.
