Nomenclatural note
Illegitimate: later homonym of Diploderma Link, 1816 (Fungi). - (01 May 2015) - M.D. Guiry

Taxonomic note
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 remains in the Bangiaceae, Bangiales, to the Porphyraceae, which he refers to the Porphyrales. - (06 February 2017) - M.D. Guiry
