Taxonomic remark The lectotype has been referred to Chlamydomonas Ehrenberg 1835 by Stein, Organismus Infus. 3(1): t. 15, fig. 38, 39. 1878. (Index Nominum Genericorum). Authority cited in ING as Ehrenberg, 1831. Used through most of the twentieth century as a genus of chrysophytes (e.g. as in Kristiansen & Preisig, 200), however the type species M. monadina Ehrenberg is a green alga in Chlamydomonadaceae, transferred to Chlamydomonas by Stein, 1878, but returned to Microglena by Demchenko et al., 2012, along with 12 other species, 2 of them new; these authors note that the later-described species of Microglena summarized in Ettl (1978) are chrysophytes and need to be transferred to another genus. [details]
