Until 1958, chlorosarcinalean algae were classified in the Tetrasporales (Lemmermann, 1 Smith2) or the Chlorococcales (Fritsch3). They were placed in families characterized by" vegetative cell division" although the authors' definitions ofthat process differed. Herndon4 preferred Fritsch's definition which stated that," the parent cell ordinarily divides without rupture or gelatinization of its wall, the two units produced by division of the protoplast being merely separated by the development between them of a strip of membrane which is joined laterally to the membrane of the parent.''Herndon4 was impressed with the importance of vegetative cell division sensu Fritsch, 3 and believing it to be an important evolutionary step in the development of multicellular organisms, elevated Fritsch's Chlorosphaeraceae to ordinal status. Herndon's order included the Chlorosphaeraceae for genera producing zoospores and the Coccomyxaceae for those lacking zoospores. His descriptions of new taxa and emendations of old taxa, following the precedents of Bold5 and Starr, 6 were based on prolonged study of unialgal or axenic cultures grown under defined conditions of nutrition, light, and temperature. Herndon4 erected the genus Chlorosarcinopsis to replace the invalid Chlorosphaera Klebs, and emended Chlorosphaeropsis Vischer. He utilized the generic characteristics suggested by Starr6 for the Chlorococcaceae: chloroplast-type, zoospore-type, and presence or absence of pyrenoids. This foundation allowed several investigators to add new genera or emend established genera as they were isolated into culture (Table 1).
