Brassicophycus sisymbrioides (Kützing) Molinari & Guiry , comb. nov.

Basionym: Pycnophycus sisymbrioides Kützing , Tabulae phycologicae 4: 9, 1854 (Ochrophyta, Sargassaceae ).

Notes: Pycnophycus sisymbrioides Kützing has priority over P. brassiciformis ( Kützing 1860) , and thus a new combination is proposed here to replace Brassicophycus brassiciformis (Kützing) Draisma & al. (2010) . The original epithet of the latter, “ brassicaeformis ”, is corrected in accordance with Art. 60.1 and following Art. 60.10 with respect to the correct formation of adjectival epithets that combine elements derived from two or more Greek or Latin words.
