Chaetopeltis Floydiella Gormaniella Hormotilopsis Koshicola Oncosaccus Phyllogloea

Chaetopeltidaceae are a small family of green algae in the order Chaetopeltidales. ^[1]

Phylogeny

A current hypothesis of the phylogenetic relationships are as follows: ^{[2] [3] [4]}

	Chaetopeltis Oncosaccus Floydiella Hormotilopsis gelatinosa Gormaniella Phyllogloea tetravacuolaris (syn. Hormotilopsis tetravacuolaris) Koshicola

Phylogenetic analyses also place Pseudulvella americana as closely related to Chaetopeltis; taxonomic revisions are necessary. ^[5]
