Description: Plants of sparingly branched filaments. Primary filament uniseriate, becoming pluriseriate with development. Cells cylindrical in younger parts, often short and almost isodiametric where pluriseriate. Cells uninucleate, each with parietal chloroplast and 1, more rarely, 2 or 3 pyrenoids. Reproduction by zoospores formed in swollen and pyriform sporangia, these dehiscencing via pore at summit of papilla. Flagellar number unknown. Other methods of reproductive unknown. Only reported from the French coast at Roscoff epiphytic on Fucus. Much doubt attaches to this incompletely described alga.

Contributors
Some of the descriptions included in AlgaeBase were originally from the unpublished Encyclopedia of Algal Genera, organised in the 1990s by Dr Bruce Parker on behalf of the Phycological Society of America (PSA) and intended to be published in CD format. These AlgaeBase descriptions are now being continually updated, and each current contributor is identified above. The PSA and AlgaeBase warmly acknowledge the generosity of all past and present contributors and particularly the work of Dr Parker.

Descriptions of chrysophyte genera were subsequently published in J. Kristiansen & H.R. Preisig (eds.). 2001. Encyclopedia of Chrysophyte Genera. Bibliotheca Phycologica 110: 1-260.
