Volvulina Playfair is a colonial volvocalean genus with usually 8 or 16 cells forming hollow ellipsoidal colonies (Playfair 1915, Ettl 1983). Three species have been recognized in this genus (V. steinii Playfair [=V. playfairiana Skvortzov], V. pringsheimii Starr and V. compacta Nozaki), and all have been studied based on culture strains. Strains of “V. boldii” nom. nud. are also known (online catalogue of UTEX: http://web. biosci.utexas.edu/utex/). Only one species has been reported from Japan, namely, V. steinii (Nozaki 1982, Tsukii 2010), with the remaining two known only from two single countries (V. pringsheimii from the USA and V. compacta from Nepal; Starr 1962, Nozaki and Kuroiwa 1990). In 2002, a single strain of Volvulina was isolated from Lake Tsukui in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. This strain was morphologically identified as V. compacta and its molecular phylogeny was examined based on five chloroplast genes.
