Description: Plants discoid or cushion-like, consisting of irregularly branched, uniseriate filaments, attached by simple or branched rhizoids. Cells uninucleate, with parietal chloroplast, number of pyrenoids unknown. Asexual reproduction by zoospores produced in terminal cells. Zoospores pyriform, no information on number of flagella. Sexual reproduction unknown. Reported within or on the gelatinous colony of Nostoc verrucosum collected in freshwater. Incompletely described and so a very doubtful genus. It has been suggested that it is probably no more than a form of Stigeoclonium deformed due to growth within the gelatinous colony of Nostoc.

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Some of the descriptions included in AlgaeBase were originally from the unpublished Encyclopedia of Algal Genera, organised in the 1990s by Dr Bruce Parker on behalf of the Phycological Society of America (PSA) and intended to be published in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.
