Plagiotropidaceae is a family of diatoms in the order Naviculales. [1]
The Prorocentrales are a small order of dinoflagellates. They are distinguished by having their two flagella inserted apically, rather than ventrally as in other groups. One flagellum extends forward and the other circles its base, and there are no flagellar grooves. This arrangement is called desmokont, in contrast to the dinokont arrangement found in other groups. Accordingly, the Prorocentrales may be called desmoflagellates, and in some classifications were treated as a separate class Desmophyceae.
The Fucales (fucoids) are an order in the brown algae. The list of families in the Fucales, as well as additional taxonomic information on algae, is publicly accessible at Algaebase.

Caulerpaceae is a family of green algae in the order Bryopsidales.
Chaetophoraceae is a family of green algae in the order Chaetophorales.
Stilus is a genus of diatoms in the family Plagiotropidaceae.
The Rivulariaceae are a family of cyanobacteria within the Nostocales in which the filaments (trichomes) are tapered from wider at the base to narrower at the tip.
Cryptomonadales is an order of Cryptophyta containing the families Cryptomonadaceae and Hilleaceae.
The Gymnodiniales are an order of dinoflagellates, of the class Dinophyceae. Members of the order are known as gymnodinioid or gymnodinoid. They are athecate, or lacking an armored exterior, and as a result are relatively difficult to study because specimens are easily damaged. Many species are part of the marine plankton and are of interest primarily due to being found in algal blooms. As a group the gymnodinioids have been described as "likely one of the least known groups of the open ocean phytoplankton."
Botrydiaceae is a family of yellow-green algae comprising 13 species in three genera. It is the only family in the order Botrydiales.
Oxyrrhis is a genus of dinoflagellates. It includes the species Oxyrrhis marina.
Onslowiaceae is the only family in order Onslowiales in the brown algae. The family contains only the genera Onslowia and Verosphacela.
Erythrotrichia is a red algae genus in the family Erythrotrichiaceae.
Perkinsidae is a family of alveolates in the phylum Perkinsozoa, a sister group to the dinoflagellates.
Nephroselmidaceae is a family of green algae, the only family in the order Nephroselmidales and the class Nephrophyceae within the division Chlorophyta.
Syracosphaerales is an order of algae consisting of three families:
