Abstract: Paper represented the new approach for assessment of the algal floras species list completeness for followed taxonomic structure and comparative floristic analysis. It was first experience for constructing curves of distribution of species in the genera over the number of algal genera, as was early doing by J.C. Willis in the book Age and Area in 1922 for different lists of faunas and angiosperm floras. We revealed that Willis curves that constructed for algal floras of diverse aquatic objects of Eurasia are represented by hyperbolic distribution (in Logarithmic coordinates as a straight line) and can be used as criteria for the algal floras list completeness for comparative floristic analysis of alpha- or gamma-diversity.
