An updated checklist of the red seaweeds (Rhodophyta), excluding the order Ceramiales, of the
Greek coasts is provided, based on literature records, critically reviewed from present-day taxonomic
and nomenclatural aspects. The total number of genera, species and infraspecific taxa currently
accepted is 78, 138 and 4 respectively. [...] Knowledge gaps are pointed, with 57 taxa pending confirmation
of their presence are not part of the Check-list (can be found in the paper). In overall, a solid updated baseline of the Rhodophyta (excluding Ceramiales) taxa occurence in
Greece is provided, critical for future tailor-targeting seaweed studies.
