Synonymy The synonymy was proposed by J. Feldmann & G. Feldmann (1939; 1943: 109--117). Post
(1968a: 96) suggested that the record of Polysiphonia rufolanosa from Calcutta published by G. Martens(1870c: 260) might be referable to Lophosiphonia. [details] distribution European populations can be found from the western Mediterranean to Shetland [details]
