Taxonomic notes
According to Russell, the species is a later synonym of Ectocarpus distortus Carmichael ex Harvey in W.J. Hooker (1833: 326; type locality Appin, Northern Ireland; type: TCD; see Russell 1967: 249, 234, “Free-living ecad of E. fasciculatus... The description of E. distortus antedates that of E. fasciculatus” (Athanasiadis, 1996).
