Fieldwork carried out in the Dhofar region of the Sultanate of Oman has resulted in many collections of marine algae assignable to the related genera Chondrophycus and Laurencia. Observations are made on the following five species of Chondroph ycus , all representing first reports for Oman: Choiindrophycus ceylanicus (J. Agardh) MT Wynne, Serio, Cormaci & G. Furnari comb. nov., C. cruciatus, C. dotyi, C. palisadus, and C. succisus. A first record of Laurencia nidifica is made for Oman, and new collections are documented for the previously reported species L. heteroclada and L. majuscula.
