Nomenclatural notes
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
Illegitimate: priority for Themis R.A. Salisbury, 1866 (Asparagaceae). Authority cited as "N. Sánchez, A. Vergés, J. Sutherland et al., J. Brodie" presumably intended to include C. Peteiro. - (25 November 2014) - G.M. Guiry
