DE CASTRO NUNES, José Marcos  e  DE PAULA, Édison José. The genus Dictyopteris J.V. Lamour. (Dictyotaceae - Phaeophyta) at the state of Bahia, Brazil. Hidrobiológica [online]. 2006, vol.16, n.3, pp.251-258. ISSN 0188-8897.

This study is part of a taxonomic survey of the benthic marine algae, carried out at the Universidade Federal da Bahia. Based on detailed morphological and anatomical analyses were recognized and illustrate six species: Dictyopteris delicatula J.V. Lamour., D. jamaicensis W.R. Taylor, D. jolyana E.C. Oliveira & R.P. Furtado, D. justii J.V. Lamour., D. plagiogramma (Mont.) Vickers e D. polypodioides (DC. in Lam. & DC.) J.V. Lamour. Reference to the original description, basionym, morphological description, geographical distribution along the Brazilian littoral and taxonomical comments were presented for each taxon studied. Dichotomic key for species identification is presented. D. jamaicensis is recorded for the first time for the Bahia state.
