Zusammenfassung:•An integrative approach uncovers a new cryptic species of Madagascaria from Brazil.•Madagascaria is probably a widely distributed genus.•The genus seems to exhibit a biogeographic pattern based on the genetic divergence. Madagascaria is a crustose monotypic genus belonging to the class Compsopogonophyceae, so far known only from the Indo-Pacific region. The taxonomy within this group is difficult since it includes genera with small dimensions (
