Unconfirmed

These species are noted in recent scientific journals but not WoRMS. Four species listed below have not been formally described as of 2022.

• Neopyropia sp. DRB
• Neopyropia elongata
• Neopyropia fucicola
• Neopyropia katadae
• Neopyropia kuniedae
• Neopyropia lacerata
• Neopyropia sp. LYCN190
• Neopyropia moriensis
• Neopyropia novae-angliae
• Neopyropia sp. P10
• Neopyropia sp. STI
• Neopyropia tenera
• Neopyropia yezoensis (Ueda) L.-E.Yang & J.Brodie, 2020 ^[a]

Notes

1. The most recent consensus is that Neopyropia yezoensis belongs in Neopyropia (L.-E.Yang & J.Brodie, 2020), however WoRMS documents both this species and Pyropia yezoensis , its previous classification, separately.
