Nomenclatural note
Grateloupia C.Agardh, 1822 (Nov.) is lectotypified by G. filicina and is currently a member of the Halymeniaceae; Grateloupia Bonnemaison, 1822 (April) is typified by Conferva arbuscula, now considered a synonym of Aglaothamnion sepositium, currently a member of the Ceramiaceae. Grateloupia C.Agardh, however, is a conserved name and is thus conserved against all earlier homonyms. - (18 May 2014) - M.D. Guiry
