Samples: Moen1_ Padina, Moen 4_ Dictyota

Dimensions: 29.7–32.0 μm long, 13.4–15.3 μm wide; 10–11 striae in 10 μm.

Comments: This species is apparently very common and widespread but is indistinguishable in light microscopy from two new species, D. weissflogiopsis Lobban & Pennesi and D. claustra Lobban & Pennesi ( Pennesi et al. 2017) .
