Nomenclatural note
"Callithamnion ? aegagropilae Funk. This species was described, with doubt on its generic attribution, from Capo Miseno (Gulf of Naples, Italy) by Funk (1922: 236). It should be noted that Funk himself noticed some similarities between his species and Callithamnion tingitanum Schousboe ex Bornet [basionym of Callithamniella tingitana]." (Cormaci & al. 2023: 266). - (15 November 2023) - M.D. Guiry
