N2  - Five species of Codium have been    found on the world's southernmost coral reef at Lord Howe Island, New South Wales    (31°33'S.,159°03'E.). The genus forms, along with the brown algal order Dictyotales, a    dominant marine algal group on the island. One species, the South African C. extricatum    Silva, is a new record for the Australian region. Codium platydados is newly described    based on Lord Howe, Great Barrier Reef and Philippine collections. Codium bulbopilum    Setchell and C spongiosum Harvey have previously been recorded from the island and    are major cover species in shallow lagoon waters. Codium arabicum is reported from    the island and adjacent Australian mainland for the first time at what appear to be the    species' southernmost limits of distribution. Anatomical variability and taxonomic    relationships of the species are considered, and the geographical and local distributions    discussed.
