Abstract
Melanothamnus afaqhusainii Shameel is characterised by large size of thallus (up to 80 cm) with 7-14 celled thick cortical zone, bearing conical (spindle shaped) propagule-like bodies, up to 365 um long x 100 um broad, consisting of up to 21 tiers of cells and borne only on Polysiphonia-like dwarf branches. It differs from S. somalensis in all these characters.
