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]
