Taxonomic note
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 January 2012) - G.M.
