Feistiellaceae is a family of freshwater green algae in the order Charales.[1]
Genera
As of February 2022[update], AlgaeBase and Fossilworks accepted three genera:[1][2]
- †Amblyochara Grambast – 6 species
- †Feistiella Schudack – 8 species
- Nitellopsis Hy – 24 species
With this circumscription, the family as a whole is not extinct, since Nitellopsis contains living (extant) species, including the widely dispersed Nitellopsis obtusa.[3] Other sources place Nitellopsis in the family Characeae,[4][5] leaving Feistiellaceae with only extinct genera.
