Taxonomy:

Citation: Parmales Booth et Marchant 1987 emend. Konno et Jordan 2007

Rank: Order

Taxonomic discussion: Ichinomiya et al. (2016) published molecular genetic data showing that Bolidomonas falls within the Parmales and that the order is a sister group to the diatoms. They suggest that there are alternate life cycle phases - a non-motile cyst-like phase as represented by the silicified forms shown here and a motile non-mineralised form, formerly know as Bolidomonas.

Booth & Marchant (1987, 1988) described two families:

Triparmacae (originally Octolaminaceae) - formed of eight plates; Triparma, Tetraparma
Pentalaminacea - formed of five plates; Pentalamina

In the intersts of simplicity we omit the family rank here.
