A new species of Plumularia from Moorea is described. It is a member of the P. setacea species complex, being easily distinguishable from the latter through its large, truncate gonothecae provided with numerous nematothecae, as well as its shallow hydrothecae with a curved abaxial wall. Sterile colonies of the new species can be mistaken for P. strobilophora, though several reliable characters allow their distinction. The type material of P. strobilophora was re-examined for comparison and new illustrations are provided.
