          Abstract

          RESUMEN El género Dictyota, de distribución cosmopolita, comprende unas 70 especies con una presencia importante en la región del Caribe. En Venezuela, el género está distribuido en toda la costa, siendo uno de los más frecuentes y representativos. En este trabajo se realiza el estudio taxonómico del género para el país con material de herbario y colecciones recientes; se aportan descripciones completas y figuras, se discute la identidad taxonómica de cada especie, se consideran aspectos de su fenología, distribución local y regional. A través de este estudio se estableció la presencia de 14 especies en Venezuela que representan el 70% de lo reportado para la región del Atlántico occidental. La presencia escasa de gametófitos en el material estudiado coincide con la paucicidad de éstos observada en poblaciones naturales.

          ABSTRACT The genus Dictyota, which has a cosmopolitan distribution, comprises about 70 species with an important presence in the Caribbean. In Venezuela, the genus is distributed all around the coast, and it is one of the most frequent and representative. In this work, taxonomic revision of the genus was carried out with herbarium specimens and recent collections. Complete descriptions and figures are given together with a discussion on the taxonomic identity of each species. Phenology aspects and local and regional distribution are considered. Through this study, the presence of 14 species in Venezuela was established which represents a report of 70% for the western Atlantic region. The rare presence of gametophytes in the studied material coincide with the uncommon occurrence in natural populations.
