Taxonomic notes
This genus name was resurrected by Sutherland et al. (2011: 1140, 1141). The generitype, Wildemania amplissima, was previously considered to be a synonym of Porphyra amplissima. According to Yoon et al. (2016: [31]) and most previous authors, "The class Bangiophyceae includes one order Bangiales, one family Bangiaceae, and 12 currently recognized genera with ca. 130 species." By contrast, Athansiadis (2016: 38) refers all these genera, except Bangia which he retains in the Bangiaceae, Bangiales, to the Porphyraceae, which he refers to the Porphyrales. - (10 Jan 2012) - Wendy Guiry
Numbers of names and species: There are 17 species names in the database at present, as well as 6 infraspecific names. Of the species names, 8 have been flagged as accepted taxonomically on the basis of the listed literature under the species name. In some instances, opinions on taxonomic validity differ from author to author and users are encouraged to form their own opinion. AlgaeBase is a work in progress and should not be regarded as a definitive source only as a guide to the literature..
Names: ('C' indicates a name that is accepted taxonomically; 'S' a homotypic or heterotypic synonym; 'U' indicates a name of uncertain taxonomic status, but which has been subjected to some verification nomenclaturally; 'P' indicates a preliminary AlgaeBase entry that has not been subjected to any kind of verification.
