Crouania is a genus of red algae (Rhodophyta) in the Callithamniaceae family. The name of the genus honours the French born Crouan brothers, Pierre-Louis Crouan (1798 - 1871) and Hippolyte-Marie Crouan (1802 - 1871).[1][2] It was first described by Jacob Georg Agardh in 1842, and the type species is Crouania attenuata.[3][4]
