Abstract
Post considered Dictyota adnata Zanardini to be a synonym of D. viella rdii Kutz. However, examination of the type specimen of D. vieillardii proves it does not belong to the genus Dictyota but represents the Va ughaniella stage of a Padina species. D. vieillardii var, filiformis K utz. is also shown to represent a Vaughaniella stage. The type specime n of D. adnata could not be traced and the designation of a neotype by Coppejans is confirmed.
