Pelagophyceae
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Pelagophyceae is a class of heterokont algae. It is the sister group of the Dictyochophyceae.[1]
All known species are marine. They can be single-celled (coccoid or flagellate), palmelloid or filamentous. Some members (Pelagomonas) belong to picoplankton, and some other (Sarcinochrysis) are macroscopic attached organisms.[2]
The class contains 13 genera, three families and two orders (2017):[3][4]
- Order Pelagomonadales Andersen & Saunders 1993
- Family Pelagomonadaceae Andersen & Saunders 1993
- Genus Ankylochrysis Billard 1995
- Genus Aureococcus Hargraves & Sieburth 1988
- Genus Chrysophaeum Lewis & Bryan 1941 non Taylor 1951
- Genus Pelagococcus Norris 1977
- Genus Pelagomonas Andersen & Saunders 1993
- Family Pelagomonadaceae Andersen & Saunders 1993
- Order Sarcinochrysidales Gayral & Billard 1977
- Family Chrysocystaceae Melkonian, Yoon & Andersen 2018
- Genus Chrysocystis Lobban, Honda & Chihara 1995
- Genus Chrysoreinhardia Billard 2000
- Genus Sungminbooa Yoon & Andersen 2018
- Family Sarcinochrysidaceae Gayral & Billard 1977
- Genus Andersenia Wetherbee & Waller 2015
- Genus Arachnochrysis Andersen & Han 2018
- Genus Aureoscheda Wynne & Andersen 2014
- Genus Aureoumbra Stockwell et al. 1997
- Genus Chrysonephos Taylor 1952
- Genus Nematochrysopsis Billard 2000
- Genus Pelagospilus Andersen & Graf 2018
- Genus Sarcinochrysis Geitler 1930
- Genus Sargassococcus Andersen & Han 2018
- Family Chrysocystaceae Melkonian, Yoon & Andersen 2018
It is expected that molecular studies will add more species to this list.[2]
