Abstract
An updated checklist of the benthic marine algae (seaweeds) of Barbados, Lesser Antilles, is presented, with a total of 308 taxa, consisting of 168 taxa of red algae (Rhodophyta), 49 taxa of brown algae (Ochrophyta), and 91 taxa of green algae (Chlorophyta). Current nomenclature is provided. Obsolete names and taxonomic synonyms are indicated in brackets. The classification is based on contemporary systems increasingly derived from the results of molecular phylogenies. The following eight taxa are newly reported for Barbados: Polysiphonia foetidissima, Hypnea valentiae, Gracilaria cylindrica, Gracilaria intermedia, Sargassum buxifolium, Cladophora laetevirens, Avrainvillea mazei, and Avrainvilleanigricans f. spongiosa.
