Thorea hispida (Thore) Desvaux

Dhanalakshmi et al. 2009, p. 36, figs 1–17.

Taxonomic synonym: Thorea ramosissima Bory : Singh 1960. p. 490, fig. 1; Khan 1978, p. 55, figs 1–4. Chadurvedi et al. 1978, p. 2; Pandey & Chadurvedi 1979, p. 42: Desikachary et al. 1990, Part II A, p. 83, Pl. XLII A, B, C; fig. 14; Bhat et al. 2011, p. 507.

Distribution in India: Andaman & Nicobar Islands (from a freshwater waterfall at Hutbay, Little Andaman); Indian Tibet (Ladakh, Cheshul stream); Uttar Pradesh (Narkatia, near Bareilly town in a swiftly running stream growing along with Compsopogon caeruleus and a Batrachospermum sp. early Jan. to early Mar; Bareilly town in the rivers Doronia, Khannost and Narkatia; Khannaut river Rohilkhand division, Shahjahan district. Jan.).

Notes: All the above records (excepting Dhanalakshmi et al. 2009) from India were cited as Thorea ramosissima , which had been in use for a long time in the phycological literature. However, taxonomists treat currently T. ramosissima as an illegitimate name, and the accepted binomial is T. hispida (see Sheath & Sherwood 2002; Kumano 2002; Sheath 2003; Ott 2009). Necchi et al. (2015), while describing a new species, T. indica , from India recently noted that previous reports from India are not conclusive due to the inadequate descriptions and lack of molecular evidence (see below under T. indica ).
