Taxonomic note
Millar & Prud'homme van Reine (2005: 540) note that the type specimen is fragmented and badly preserved and thus difficult to identify with certainty. Judging from Kützing's illustrations figs 3c, d), this species does appear to represent a species of the Callithamnion group. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
