Taxonomy classification of Prasinophyceae.Note: this classification list the genus Pyramimonas under the Halosphaeraceae (Chlorodendrales), and not under the Pyramimonadales. According to the codes of organismal nomenclature (in this case the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature), the basis of the ordinal name Pyramimonadales is the genus name Pyramimonas, therefore Pyramimonas should always be placed within Pyramimonadales when both names are used.
