Type Information
Type locality: Port Philipp [Port Philip, Victoria, Asutralia]; (Index Nominum Algarum: 408) Notes: "Type: Iconotype, here designated: F.T.Kützing, Tab. phycol. 16(2): pl. 77c, d (1866). ... No type material of M. mallardiae has been seen, as no specimens appear to be extant in L, MEL or TCD. In the absence of type material, the protologue illustration in Kützing (1866, fig. 77c, d) is the only available type element. The species was regarded by both J. Agardh (1876, p. 571) and Womersley (unpubl. notes of 20 February 1952) as synonymous with Mychodea terminalis, but is here treated as a synonym of M. carnosa." (Kraft & Saunders 2017: 234).
