A checklist of 1058 species of benthic marine algae has been compiled for the tropical and subtropical western Atlantic, covering the region from North Carolina (U.S.A.) through southern Brazil. This list comprises 655 species of Rhodophyceae, 150 of Phaeophyceae, and 253 of Chlorophyceae. Literature references subsequent to 1960 are included in the bibliography, and notes in regard to some of the species are given, where appropriate.
