The development of molecular techniques as a complement of taxonomic studies in algae, has allowed to improve species classification and our understanding of phylogenetic relationships within the different groups of algae. Taxonomic and phylogenetic studies using DNA barcode secquences in Rhodymenia (Rhodymeniaceae) from different places around the world, as Australia, Canada, USA, Japan, South Africa, Chile and Perú, they have revealed the variety of cryptic species in the genus. Material morphologically assigned to Rhodymenia genus, which has been collected in the central coast of Peru, it was morphologically and molecularly analized, for what it has been generated 25 rbcL secuences. The use of phylogenetic analysis, application of species delimitation models, and the morphological analysis of national and international herbariums samples, allowed to differentiate five species in the Peruvian central coast. Three of them were attributed to the previous recognized species R. skottsbergii, R. flabellifolia and R. corallina, in the last one were included sequences of samples morphologically identified as R. howeana and R. multidigitata. Two other species were also identified in this manuscript as R. corallina 2 and as Rhodymenia sp., the last one includes the specimens initially identified as R. californica. Deeper morphological and molecular analyzes, complementing the use of other molecular markers, are necessary to confirm the identification of these species.
