Taxonomic remark Created for Solenoporaceae auctt., i.e. the "algal" component of the otherwise poriferan family Solenoporaceae Pia. From AlgaeBase: invalid as no description. Reference to Solenoporaceae Pia, 1927, typified by Solenopora, which Riding (2004) has shown that the type, S. spongioides Dybowski, 1877, is actually "a chaetetid sponge, not an alga". Vachard et al., 2016 state: The validity and botanical assignment of the family Elianellaceae (formerly "Solenoporaceae") as a homogeneous taxonomical group have been often questioned (Woelkerling 1988; Brooke & Riding 1998, 2000; Aguirre & Barattolo 2001; Riding 2004; Cózar & Vachard 2006; Granier & Dias-Brito 2016). To partially replace the name Solenoporaceae, Brooke & Riding (1998, 2000) introduced the new family Graticulaceae and compared it to the extant family Sporolithaceae of the order Corallinales (Silva & Johansen 1996). Woerkerling (1988) and Aguirre & Barattolo (2001) considered the “Solenoporaceae” as incertae sedis algae. Riding (2004) interpreted the type species Solenopora spongioides Dybowski, 1878 as a chaetetid sponge, and assigned the classical Solenoporaceae Parachaetetes Deninger, 1906 and Pseudochaetetes Haug, 1883 also to chaetetids. In contrast, Riding (2004) considered Marinella Pfender, 1939, Metasolenopora Yabe, 1912, Petrophyton Yabe, 1912 and Solenoporella Rothpletz, 1908 as red algae, even though he did not give a new family name for these former algal solenoporaceans. The name Elianellaceae was proposed by Granier in Granier & Dias-Brito (2016). We accept this name in order to resolve this old taxonomical problem, even if the first genus name mentioned as synonym for an algal Solenopora has been Metasolenopora Yabe, 1912 (see e.g., Pia 1927, Peterhans 1929, Poignant 1991), and if the derived family name Metasolenoporaceae would be more reminiscent of Solenoporaceae.
