Gloiocladia - a new generic name for the first member of the family Faucheaceae (Rhodymeniales, Rhodophyta) from the Russian Pacific
Taxonomic revision of the genus Fauchea with transfer of the overwhelming majority of its species, including the type F. repens, to the genus Gloiocladia (Rod-rнguez-Prieto et al., 2007) necessiates the same transfer of the recently described taxon Fauchea guiryi Selivanova from the Russian coast of the North-West Pacific. So, a new nomenclatural combination for this species is proposed: Gloiocladia guiryi (Selivanova) Selivanova (= Fauchea guiryi Selivanova).
