Taxonomic note
South & Skelton (2003: 737) cite this species as a synonym of Amansia glomerata C. Agardh 1824, based on the proposed conspecificity of Amansia Lamouroux and Melanamansia R.E. Norris 1988, put forth in Womersley (2003). N'Yeurt (2002) kept both genera distinct based on morphological and biochemical differences. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
