Taxonomic note
De Clerck (2003) notes that this was originally described as a growth form of D. cervicornis but later considered synonymous with D. bartayresiana (Taylor 1960: 222). However, examination of the type material showed that this forma of D. bartayresiana is representative of D. caribaea. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry

Distributional note
John et al. (2003) do not distinguish between Dictyota cervicornis f. pseudobartayresii and f. pseudohamata when presenting their distributional data and it is assumed that the data are the same as for Lawson & John (1987). - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
