Notes:
- ❗ Setchelliellaceae is the correct name instead if this family is regarded as a separate family (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another family whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
- 🧍 According to Silva (1980), Setchelliella De Toni f. 1936 is a replacement for Tildenia Kossinskaja 1926, which is a later homonym and the type of the family name Tildeniaceae Kossinskaja 1926, which is not in accordance with the rules of the ICNafp. See also the comment on Rivulariaceae by the same author. Publication: Silva PC. Names of classes and families of living algae with special reference to their use in the Index Nominum Genericorum (Plantarum). Bohn, Scheltema & Holkema, Utrecht, 1980.
