Freshwater Red Algae

Abstract

Subphylum Eurhodophytina is classified into two classes: Bangiophyceae and Florideophyceae. Class Bangiophyceae has a single order Bangiales, which is divided into two families: Bangiaceae with the type genus, Bangia, and a single species Bangia atropurpurea as the only occurring in freshwaters; and Granufilaceae with the monospecific type genus, Granufilum rivularis exclusively of freshwaters. Class Florideophyceae has several subclasses and those treated in this chapter are: Corallinophycidae, Hildenbrandiophycidae, and Rhodymeniophycidae. Corallinophycidae has only one species in freshwaters (Pneophyllum cetinaensis). Hildenbrandiophycidae has marine and freshwater members, and three species have been recognized in freshwater (Hildenbrandia angolensis, H. jigongshanensis, and H. rivularis). Rhodymeniophycidae has freshwater representatives in two orders: Ceramiales with three genera: Bostrychia (seven species), Caloglossa (six species), and Polysiphonia (one species); Gigartinales with the single genus Sterrocladia (two species).
