Although they possess a relatively high degree of morphological variability compared with other prokaryotes and there is a wealth of molecular data, there are still significant gaps in our knowledge of cyanobacterial diversity, especially in tropical areas. Here, we present a novel, filamentous, tropical cyanobacterium, which could be classified as Pseudophormidium based on morphological criteria. A total evidence investigation employing ecological, morphological and genomic data, indicated that our strains form a new and ancient evolutionary lineage among cyanobacteria unrelated to Pseudophormidium. Based on this polyphasic assessment, our strains represent a novel, monospecific genus: Elainella. This new genus represents an example of phenotypic convergence, which seems to be a prevalent macroevolutionary pattern in cyanobacteria, a likely cause of the frequently cited polyphyly within a majority of genera.
