Fischerellopsis F.E.Fritsch, 1932
Type species: a type species (generitype) appears not to have been designated.
Original publication and holotype designation: Fritsch, F.E. (1932). Contributions to our knowledge of British Freshwater algae . I. Fischerellopsis a new genus of Myxophyceae. II. Chrysopyxis stenostoma Lauterborn. Journal of Botany, British and Foreign 70: 121-132.
Description: Komárek (1992): Filamentous - thallous; filaments single or in fascicles, arranged parallel or coiled within a common gelatinous, diffluent mass, enveloped by their own, fine sheaths, with common, lateral true-branchings (T-type), uniserial, rarely multiserial, with club-shaped ends of trichomes and branches. Branches arise after the lengthwise cell division in main trichomes, sometimes very commonly; they are long or short (in the latter case they change completely in hormogonia), with diffluent, fine sheaths. Trichomes usually constricted at cross-walls, with barrel-shaped cells, isodiametric or shorter or longer than wide. Occasionally occurs false branching. Heterocytes solitary in main filaments and in long branches, short. Akinetes develop solitary, rarely, in main creeping trichomes, subspherical.

Contributors
Some of the descriptions included in AlgaeBase were originally from the unpublished Encyclopedia of Algal Genera,
organised in the 1990s by Dr Bruce Parker on behalf of the Phycological Society of America (PSA)
and intended to be published in CD format.
These AlgaeBase descriptions are now being continually updated, and each current contributor is identified above.
The PSA and AlgaeBase warmly acknowledge the generosity of all past and present contributors and particularly the work of Dr Parker.
Descriptions of chrysophyte genera were subsequently published in J. Kristiansen & H.R. Preisig (eds.). 2001. Encyclopedia of Chrysophyte Genera. Bibliotheca Phycologica 110: 1-260.
