The genera recorded, with number of species (in brackets), are: Flagellata: Euglena (5); Lepocinclis (1); Phacus (3); Trachelomonas (1). Chlorophyceae (Volvocales) : Chlamydomonas (1); Pteromonas (1); Pyrobotrys (1); Chloro-gonium (1) (Chlorocoecales): Coelastrum (l);Tetrallantos (1); Closteriopsis (1) Scenedesmus (5). (Conjugates) : Closterium (3). Myxophyceae: Anabaena (1); Arthrospira (1); Oscillatoria (1).
