This “third revision” of M. J. Wynne's “Checklist” is a meticulously updated compilation of benthic marine algae, or seaweeds, recognized in the tropical and subtropical Western Atlantic Ocean. It spans from the warm temperate eastern United States to southern Brazil, mirroring the domain covered by W. R. Taylor's 1960 algal flora. The checklist identifies 1,393 species of benthic marine algae: 905 red, 175 brown, and 313 green algae. Including 185 infraspecific taxa, the total reaches 1,578 names. Taxonomic synonyms are provided in brackets after current names. The work adheres to the latest proposals on systematic relationships, reflecting significant changes from recent molecular-based phylogenetic studies. Additionally, there are 563 notes regarding nomenclature and distribution for many taxa. An extensive bibliography of relevant literature since the second revision in 2005 is included, along with a table of new references categorized by geographic region (country or coastal states of the southeastern USA). This resource is invaluable for marine algae researchers, offering a synthesis of recent literature and the most modern classification concepts, relevant not just for the Western Atlantic but also in a global context.
