Rhodella is a monotypic genus of red algae containing only one species, Rhodella violaceae. The genus has formerly included a few other species but have since been synonymized, such as Rhodella reticulata, Rhodella grisea (both synonyms of Dixoniella grisea), and Rhodella cyanea (synonym of Neorhodella cyanea).
