Taxonomic note
According to Novis et al. (2010), Parallela (P. novae-zelandiae, P. transversale occur in the CS (Chlamydomonadales, Sphaeropleales) clade of Turmel et al. (2008). They reject earlier classifications of Parallela as a member of the Tetrasporales or Gloeotilales and confirm the splitting of the latter order. - (18 August 2010) - G.M. Guiry
