The raphidophytes, previously known as chloromonads, are a small but widespread group of single-celled eukaryotic algae, found in both marine and freshwater environments. They are taxonomically known as class Raphidophyceae and order Chattonellales. Chattonella (=Hornellia , Hemieutreptia Hada 1974 ) Chlorinimonas Heterosigma Viridilobus Family Fibrocapsaceae Fibrocapsa Family Haramonadaceae Haramonas Psammamonas Family Vacuolariaceae Gonyostomum Merotrichia Vacuolaria Several genera have been proposed as raphidophytes but their position remains uncertain. The genus Oltmannsia was tentatively placed in the order Chattonellales by Jahn Throndsen in 1993, but it is not included in later studies. Similarly, the genus Swirenkoiamonas was described as a member of the Chloromonadales, was later regarded as a euglenid in 1991, and is not mentioned by subsequent studies. The genus Olisthodiscus was originally proposed as a raphidophyte, but it currently composes a separate class, Olisthodiscophyceae. ==References==
