Published in: Neustupa, J., Eliás, M. & Sejnohová, L. (2007). A taxonomic study of two Stichococcus species (Trebouxiophyceae, Chlorophyta) with a starch-enveloped pyrenoid. Nova Hedwigia 84: 51-63.

The type species (holotype) of the genus Stichococcus is Stichococcus bacillaris Nägeli.

Status of Name
This name is currently regarded as a synonym of Tetratostichococcus jenerensis (Neustupa, Eliás & Sejnohová) Pröschold & Darienko.

Type Information
Type locality: Kampong Kuala Jenera, Kelantan, Malaysia; (Nestupa, Eliás & Sejnohová 2007: 61-62) Holotype: J.Neustupa; 29.i. 2000; Surface soil crust on a tree base in a secondary lowland rainforest; PRC; AL1/2006 (Nestupa, Eliás & Sejnohová 2007: 61) Notes: The name of the species is derived from the name of a village close to the type locality. The original strain is kept in the Culture Collection of Charles University of Prague (CAUP) as strain CAUP J 1302.

Description
Easily fragmenting unbranched filaments so that the cells are usually solitary or in two-celled filaments. On solid medium, longer filaments with 5-10(-20) cells are formed. The cells are cylindrical, with dimensions (2.5-)2.8-3.8(-4.2) × (4.0-)4.5-10.7(-11.8) µm. The cell wall is thin, without any thickenings. The cells possess a single parietal chloroplast with a single starch-enveloped pyrenoid. The envelope is composed of several isolated starch grains. Asexual reproduction proceeds by means of vegetative cell division. Neither production of zoospores nor sexual reproduction was observed.
