Abstract
The red alga Gayliella fimbriata (Ceramiaceae, Rhodophyta) is reported for the first time from the Mediterranean Sea. This species was collected growing as an epiphyte on Laurencia obtusa in the sublittoral zone at Antalya (Mediterranean coast of Turkey). Gayliella fimbriata is characterized by its protruding clavate gland cells. Features to distinguish the four Turkish species of Gayliella from one another are provided.
