Hydraeophycus Molinari & Guiry View in CoL , nom. nov.

Replaced name: Heterotrichella P.Schäfer & Senowbari-Daryan, Palaeontographica, Abteilung B 185: 121, 1983 (Chlorophyta, Chaetophoraceae ), nom. illeg., non Heterotrichella Reisigl (1964: 449) , Xanthonemataceae .

Type: Heterotrichella hydriotica P.Schäfer & Senowbari-Daryan (designated by the authors).

Notes: The genus Heterotrichella was erected for two fossil algae from Triassic deposits on the island of Hydra, one of the Saronic Islands of Greece. It was later classified as a member of the Chaetophoraceae on morphological grounds ( Dullo & al. 1987, Kuss 1990) and has been found in Triassic and Jurassic rocks in eastern Europe and Arabia ( Dullo & al. 1987, Kuss 1990, Flügel & al. 1992). The replacement genus is named for the island in which it was originally found.
