Nomenclatural note
"This species was described by Feldmann-Mazoyer (1941: 459) from Villefranche-sur-Mer (Francia). Athanasiadis (1987: 70) considered it as a synonym of Callithamnion cordatum Børgesen [= A. cordatum] thinking that diacritic characters given by Feldmann-Mazoyer (op. cit.) for her species were of scarce taxonomic value and in any case not sufficient to consider it as a distinct species." (Cormaci & al. 2023: 303). - (16 November 2023) - M.D. Guiry
