Agardh (Chrolophyceae), was determined by field survey during 2005 to 2011, and observations of its morphology and habitat characteristics were included. Herbarium specimens from four herbaria: Hokkaido University (SAP); National Museum of Nature and Science (TNS), Kagoshima Prefectural Fisheries Technology and Development Center, Kagoshima University (KAG) and GT Velasquez Herbarium of University of the Philippines, were also examined to confirm its previous record and taxonomic status of the Japanese taxon. In Japan, this taxon was formerly reported only from the southern part of the Ryukyu Islands including Okinawa-jima, Miyako-jima and Ishigaki-jima Is. In this study, we confirmed it for the first time from the northern Ryukyus (i.e., Okinoerabu-jima, Amami-Oshima, Tanega-shima, Iwo-jima and Uji-jima Is.) and Kyushu Is. (Amakusa-shimo-jima Is. and Satsuma Peninsula). Based on the collected and herbarium specimens, the northern limit of this species was considered to be Amakusa-shimo-jima Is.
