Smith (1944) divided the familiar genusVolvoxL. into four sections, placing seven species that lacked cytoplasmic bridges between adult cells in the sectionMerrillosphaera. Herein, we describe a new member of the sectionMerrillosphaeraoriginating from Texas (USA):Volvox ovalisPocock ex Nozaki et A. W. Coleman sp. nov. Asexual spheroids ofV. ovalisare ovoid or elliptical, with a monolayer of 1,000–2,000 somatic cells that are not linked by cytoplasmic bridges, an expanded anterior region, and 8–12 gonidia in the posterior region. Visibly asymmetric cleavage divisions do not occur inV. ovalisembryos as they doVolvox carteriF. Stein,Volvox obversus(W. Shaw) Printz, andVolvox africanusG. S. West, so the gonidia of the next generation are not yet recognizable inV. ovalisembryos prior to inversion. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of the five chloroplast genes and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of nuclear rDNA indicated thatV. ovalisis closely related toVolvox spermatosphaeraPowers (Powers 1908, as “spermatosphara”) and/orVolvox tertiusArt. Mey.; however,V. ovaliscan be distinguished fromV. spermatosphaeraby its larger gonidia, and fromV. tertiusby visible differences in gonidial chloroplast morphology.
