  • Aphanothece cf. castagnei (Brébisson) Rabenhorst (1865: 64) (Figs. 1C–1E). Basionym: Oncobyrsa castagnei Brébisson in Kützing (1845: 9). Round to elongated, irregular colonies, 17.8–386.1 μm diam. Sheath gelatinous, hyaline to brownish, inconspicuous to conspicuous. Cells sparsely disposed, oblong to ellipsoidal, 3.8–5.9 × 2.6–3.8 μm, 1.4–2.0 times longer than wide. Cell content slightly granulated, greyish green. Habitat: —Wet rocks. Notes: —Morphologically, the studied population is very similar to Aphanothece castagnei. However, ecologically they are distinct and, according to Rabenhorst (1865), A. castagnei was found growing among submersed mosses, not on wet rocks as the present material.
