Taxonomic note
According to Burrows (1991) this species is a synonym of Blidingia marginata (J. Agardh) P. Dangeard. According to Taylor (1960) this species is essentially a northern one and these specimens (from Uruguay) differ in the lesser degree of twisting that they show, the slightly larger cells, and thinner lateral cell walls. - (11 May 2006) - G.M.
