A new species of Stictyosiphon from the North Atlantic is decribeci. Morphologically it resembles a densely branched Chordaria flagelliformis or an aberrant Dictyosiphon foeniculaceus. It disagrees with known species of Stictyosiphon by a loosely constructed cortex which develops in connection with formation of plurilocular sporangia. We, therefore, consider this a new species for which the name Stictyosiphon arcticus is proposed.
