ABSTRACT
A new species of Tetradesmus (Tetradesmus adustus) is described from desert
soils of southwestern North America. The identification is based on phylogenetic analysis
of data from nuclear (ITS2 rDNA) and plastid (rbcL, tufA) barcode markers. This newly
described species represents the fifth cryptic species of arid-adapted algae in Scenedesmaceae.
A re-analysis of published sequences attributed to desert Tetradesmus in the context
of our newly obtained data reiterates the importance of robust phylogenetic analysis in
identification of cryptic taxa, such as species of Tetradesmus.
