Feldmann-Mazoyer suggest that Mediterranean populations of Ceramium ciliatum are referred to var. robustum (Agardh) Mazoyer.

Ceramium cingulatum Weber van Bosse. 
Boudouresque suggests that this species, in Mediterranean, may correspond to young and fertile specimens of Ceramium diaphanum (Lightfoot) Roth. This hypothesis requires further investigations.

Erythroglossum balearicum (Rodriguez) Agardh

Boudouresque suggests that Erythroglossum balearicum may be conspecific with Erythroglossum sandrianum, because the two species are poorly distinguished.

Erythroglossum sandrianum (Kuetzing) Kylin 
(=Aglaophyllum sandrianum Kuetzing). 
The first description of this species as Aglaophyllum saudrianum Kuetzing, was later corrected to Aglaophyllum sandrianum (Kuetzing). Delesseria sandriana Meneghini and Delesseria sandriana Zanardini (the basionym) were nomina nuda (Athanasiadis).

Corallina officinalis Linnaeus. 
Boudouresque suggests that the Mediterranean records of this taxon could be referred to the very similar Corallina elongata Ellis & Solander. The effective presence of Corallina officinalis Linnaeus in Mediterranean could need further investigations.

Erythrocladia gibber Dangeard. 
The validity of this Species is uncertain (Boudouresque).

Erythrocladia polystromatica Dangeard. 
The validity of this Species is uncertain (Boudouresque).

Erythrocladia subintegra Rosevinge. 
This taxon is often indicated as synonimous of  Erythrocladia irregularis. The systematic of this Genus, however, is particularly arduous and could require further investigations: since then, the two taxa would be maintained (Boudouresque)

Erythrocladia violacea Dangeard. 
The validity of this Species is uncertain (Boudouresque).

Feldmann & Hamel accepted as different Species Gelidium crinale (Turner) Lamouroux in Bory, Gelidium pulchellum (Turner) Kuetzing and Gelidium pusillum (Stackhouse) Le Jolis: Dixon & Irvine, however, reduce these three taxa to the one Gelidium pusillum (Stackhouse) Le Jolis. Boudouresque suggests that Mediterranean specimens could be referred to the same species.
