Samples: Moen2_ Halimeda, Moen 2_ Sargassum, Moen 3_ Dictyota

Dimensions: 108.9–124.9 μm long, 22.6–26.5 μm wide; 21 striae in 10 μm, 25–26 areolae in 10 μm.

Comments: Although the size of these specimens is similar to D. baltica , the much less sigmoid raphe path suggests that it is an undescribed species.
