Abstract
A new genus in the Dictyotales, Lindauera, is described based on the species Dictyota papenfussii Lindauer from Taranaki, North Island, New Zealand. Lindauera is distinguished from Dictyota by both molecular data and by the possession of primary, prostrate dichotomously branched axes that attach thalli to substrates. We present data extending the known distribution of this species within New Zealand and confirm its occurrence in Australia.
