NOTE.—Fucus miniatus Draparnaud ex De Candolle, <strong>the</strong> intended basionym <strong>of</strong> Wurdemannia miniata, is a later homonym <strong>of</strong>F. miniatus O.F. Miiller (1778:7, pi. 769) and hence not priorable. Sphaerococcus miniatus Sprengel is treated as a nomen novum in accordance with Article 72, Note 1, <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> ICBN.

Gray The reason for adopting Hincksia for <strong>the</strong> genus currently known as Giffordia is given in <strong>the</strong> appended Nomenclatural Notes. Hincksia breviarticulata (J. Agardh) P.C. Silva, new combination Ectocarpus breviarticulatus J. Agardh, 1847:7 [type locality: "St. Augustin" (Oaxaca, Mexico)].—Reyes, 1980:119, pi. 1: figs. 2a,b. PHILIPPINE DISTRIBUTION.—SIQUIJOR. NOTE.—This species was assigned to Feldmannia by Pham-Hoang Ho (1969:298). As noted by Womersley and Bailey (1970:288), however, it does not have <strong>the</strong> long unbranched filaments with basal meristems that are characteristic <strong>of</strong> that genus. It seems best placed in Hincksia. Hincksia mitchelliae (Harvey) P.C. Silva, new combination Ectocarpus mitchelliae Harvey, 1852:142, pi. XII.
