| description | Background and Aims: The rocky shore environments of the state of Veracruz are unique sites in which the macroalgal richness has been poorly studied, mainly due to the absence of complete floristic lists and a follow-up of the changes in algal populations. Hence, the goal of this work was to contribute to the knowledge of algae of Veracruz rocky shore environments located in Playa Paraíso, Playa Villa Rica and Playa Muñecos, which are influenced by the foothills of the Neovolcanic Belt.Methods: Seaweeds were collected during rainy (September 2016) and dry seasons (May 2017) on selected rocky shores named “Playa Paraíso” (PP), “Playa Villa Rica” (PVR) and “Playa Muñecos” (PM). Samples were preserved in a seawater and formaldehyde (4%) solution. External and internal morphometric observations were carried out on the thalli, and the species were determined according to specialized taxonomic literature.Key results: A total of 45 species were identified, from which 18 were Chlorophyta, 16 Rhodophyta and 11 Ochrophyta. The most representative families found were Corallinaceae, Rhodomelaceae, Cladophoraceae and Dictyotaceae. The highest richness of species was observed in PP during the dry season. New records are reported for the localities, of which Centroceras gasparrinii, Gracilaria apiculata and G. flabelliformis are new records for the state of Veracruz.Conclusions: The algal flora of the Neovolcanic rocky coast of Veracruz is tropical and houses 31% of the regional algal flora of the state. The new records in each of the localities reflect a gap in the knowledge of the algal richness of this area. As a consequence, it is suggested to continue recording species occurrence in the area in order to integrate the corresponding floristic lists. |

Antecedentes y Objetivos: Los ambientes de los litorales rocosos del estado de Veracruz, México, son sitios únicos en los que la riqueza específica macroalgal ha sido poco estudiada, ya que se carece de listados florísticos completos y de un seguimiento a los cambios en las poblaciones algales. El objetivo de este trabajo fue contribuir al conocimiento de algas de los ambientes rocosos veracruzanos ubicados en Playa Paraíso, Playa Villa Rica y Playa Muñecos, los cuales están influenciados por las estribaciones del Eje Neovolcánico.Métodos: Las algas se recolectaron durante la época de lluvias (septiembre 2016) y de secas (mayo 2017) en Playa Paraíso (PP), Playa Villa Rica (PVR) y Playa Muñecos (PM). Las muestras se preservaron en una solución de agua de mar y formol al 4%. Se realizaron observaciones morfométricas externas e internas de los talos y se determinaron las especies de acuerdo con literatura taxonómica especializada.Resultados clave: Se determinaron un total de 45 especies, de las cuales 18 fueron Chlorophyta, 16 Rhodophyta y 11 Ochrophyta. Las familias mejor representadas fueron Corallinaceae, Rhodomelaceae, Cladophoraceae y Dictyotaceae. La mayor riqueza de especies se observó en PP durante la época de secas. Se mencionan nuevos registros para las localidades de estudio; de éstos, Centroceras gasparrinii, Gracilaria apiculata y G. flabelliformis son nuevos registros para el estado de Veracruz.Conclusiones: La flora algal del litoral rocoso Neovolcánico de Veracruz es de tipo tropical y alberga 31% de la flora algal regional del estado de Veracruz. Los nuevos registros en cada una de las localidades reflejan que aún prevalece una brecha en el conocimiento de la riqueza algal de esta región. Por lo tanto, se sugiere continuar con el registro de especies en la zona con la finalidad de integrar los listados florísticos correspondientes.
