A new genus Chakia has been described on the basis of 16S rRNA sequences of four strains isolated from two localities in alkaline marshes in Belize (Central America). Characteristic morphological features of thalli both from natural environment and from cultivated strains were documented to complete the description of this new genus. The type strain has been named Ch.ciliosa sp. nov. Previous findings and up to now performed samplings and studies of relative material have indicated that the occurrence of the genus in all Belizean alkaline marshes, Everglades (USA), Cuban and other tropical Caribbean alkaline marshes is evident or highly probable.
