Note added in proof

In a note added in proof, an alternative classification is presented for the class Chlorophyceae:

• Class Chlamydophyceae

• Order Volvocales
• Order Chaetophorales
• Order Chlorococcales (e.g., Chlorococcum, Chlorosarcinopsis, Cylindrocapsa [?])

• Class Chlorophyceae

• Order Chlorellales (e.g., Chlorella, Kirchneriella, Scenedesmus, Hydrodictyon, Pediastrum, Sphaeroplea, Atractomorpha)

• Class Oedogoniophyceae

• Order Oedogoniales (e.g., Oedogonium)

Many examples of genus given in the book could not be assigned to one of these classes, because the ultrastructural characteristics needed for their classification have not yet been studied.
