Descriptive info restricted to freshwater (Parker 82) [details]
Taxonomic remark From Schneider & Wynne, 2007: A type species was not designated when this genus was validly published by Brand (1897). Thus, despite many of its several species having been transferred to other genera (e.g., Kumano 2002), the generic name remains viable as long as all of the species have not been accounted for taxonomically. Kylin (1956) did not include Pseudochantransia in his survey of genera, and although he mentioned it several times, he did not place it in synonymy with any listed genus. In a few places, Kylin referred to ‘‘Chantransia Stadien’’ that were Pseudochantransia species according to Brand (1897), but the form genus Chantransia remains problematic itself ... In his book on the freshwater red algae of the world, Kumano (2002) listed three species of Pseudochantransia as synonyms of Audouinella species but did not deal with the status of the genus itself.
