Stypopodium zonale (J.V. Lamouroux) Papenfuss, 1940
Japanese name: ジガミグサ (jigamigusa)
Type locality: — Dominican Republic
Description and remarks: —Specimens are upright with thalli measuring 7–14 cm tall and 3–15 cm in width. Plants are attached to the rocky substrates by rhizoidal holdfasts. Younger blades may be flabellate but clefts form as they grow which run the entire length of the thallus, creating strap-shaped segments. Older plants also exhibit torn margins possibly due to herbivory. Underwater, plants exhibit iridescence and are present together with Padina spp. and Dictyopteris spp. in the early-mid summer. This species was collected from Yokoura and at Mushima new port.
