Nomenclatural note
Ardré (1970: 174) cited Halos's thesis in her treatment of Aglothamnion gallicum, but it is not clear whether Halos's Third-cycle thesis from the Université de Paris was published in a manner that fits the ICN's current requirements for effective publication. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry

Distributional note
All records of Aglaothamnion brodiei from the Mediterranean Sea that are based on Feldmann-Mazoyer's concept of this taxon should be referred to Aglaothamnion gallicum (Furnari et al., 1999, following Maggs & Hommersand, 1994). - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
