| Abstract: | The flagella-like but immobile pseudocilia of the green alga Chaetopeltis are described. Examination of the pseudocilia reveals a similarity to those previously described for other members of the Tetrasporales. The taxonomic position of Chaetopeltis, in relation to other members of the Tetrasporales, is shown to be in the family Chaetopeltidaceae. |
