Taxonomic note
We follow the conclusions of Athanasiadis (2009) and we recognise Antithamnion hubbsii as a separate species from A. nipponicum. Some recent authors (e.g. Kim & Lee 2012) treat the former as a synonym of the latter. - (26 February 2013) - G.M. Guiry

Distributional note
"[This] has erroneously been referred to as A. nipponicum and reported as such as a recent introduction along the North Carolina and Pacific coasts of North America (Cho et al., 2005) and in Europe from the Mediterranean Sea (Verlaque & Riouall, 1989; Curiel et al., 1996, as A. pectinatum), the Atlantic coasts of the Iberian Peninsula (Secilla et al., 2007), and Norway (Rueness et al., 2007)." Rueness (2010: 385). - (26 February 2013) - G.M. Guiry
