Note: The conspecificity of Dictyota ciliata J. Agardh and D. ciliolata was proposed by J. Agardh (1882: 95), who, however, erroneously retained the former name, a later homonym of D. ciliata Lamouroux (1809a: 41). Dictyota ciliata Lamouroux is an illegitimate new name for Fucus pseudociliatus Lamouroux (1805: 41–43, pl. XXV: fig. 2; syntype localities: Roussillon, France; Catalunya, Spain; "Saint-Domingue'' [Dominican Republic]), which was referred to Taonia atomaria (Woodward) J. Agardh (q.v.) by Greville (1830: 58) and J. Agardh (1848b: 101).
