Misapplied name:

INDIAN OCEAN DISTRIBUTION: Amirante Islands, Andaman Islands, Australia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Laccadive Islands, Madagascar, Mauritius, Réunion, Rodriguez Island, Seychelles, Singapore, Somalia, South Africa, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Yemen.

Note: Codium tomentosum, as circumscribed by P. Silva (1955: 569–576), is restricted to Atlantic Europe and North Africa. In general, however, the name has been applied to any terete, dichotomously branched form. The foregoing records will eventually prove to be applicable to such species as C. bartlettii Tseng & Gilbert, C. dwarkense Børgesen, and C. geppiorum O. Schmidt. Unresolved records of C. tomentosum from South Africa were discussed by P. Silva (1959: 157–158). The complicated nomenclatural status of Codium dichotomum was explained by P. Silva (1955).
