Chroococcidiopsis sp. ( Figs. 15E–15G View FIGURES 15 ).

Round, elliptical, elongated cells, (3.5)4.6–13.7 µm diam., isolated or forming colonies. Sheath firm, hyaline, conspicuous, non-lamellate, smooth. Baeocytes (many,>15 per cell) spherical to irregular, 2.0–2.9 µm diam. Cell content homogenous to slightly granulated, green brownish to brown-purplish.

Habitat: —Wet concrete.

Notes: —This morphotype was only found in culture. Cell content color, cell dimensions, including baeocytes, and the habitat, cause this morphotype to be different from other Chroococcidiopsis species.

Studied material: — BRAZIL. São Paulo: São Luís do Paraitinga, State Park of “Serra do Mar” ( Santa Virgínia ), 23º 20’ 10” S, 45º 8’ 44” W, 24 February 2010, W.A. Gama-Jr. (SP 427348) GoogleMaps .
