Summary Schneider, C. W. & Wynne, M. J.: Lectotypification of Sebdenia flabellata (J. Agardh) Parkinson (Gigartinales, Rhodophyta). ‐ Taxon 40: 471–474. 1991. ‐ ISSN 0040‐0262. Type material of Isymenia flabellata J. Agardh was examined and determined to conform to Sebdenia. The transfer of this taxon to Sebdenia by Parkinson is supported. Sebdenia flabellata (J. Agardh) Parkinson is regarded to be the correct name for a red algal species that includes Sebdenia polydactyla (B⊘rgesen) Balakrishnan. Its taxonomic separation from the superficially similar Halymenia trigona (Clemente) C. Agardh is confirmed.
