SUMMARY Pacific coast species of the red algae Halymenia and Cryptonemia are described Of the 8 previously reported species of Halymenia 3 (H. abyssicola Dawson , H. megaspore Dawson , H refugiensis Dawson ) hive been placed in synonymy with other species. Halymenia hollenbergii from southern California is described as new ; H cocinea is transferred from Schizymenia ( and includes Aeodes gardneri Kylin) and H. templetonii is a transfer from Weeksia. Five species of Cryptonemia are described; one of them , C. taylorii from the Revillagigedo Archipelago, as new. Wider distribution ranges are given for the remaining species , C. ovalifolia, C. obovata, C. bore alis and C. angustata.
