Abstract

On the course of our investigations on the culture of Chlorella peruviana G. Chacón, it became
apparent that some nomenclatural changes were necessary within the genus. Here, we present
those changes: transfer of C. pyrenoidosa H. Chick to Auxenochlorella as A. pyrenoidosa (H. Chick) Molinari & Calvo-Pérez comb. nov.; the replacement name C. gloriae Molinari nom. nov. for C. salina Butcher; and the lectotypification of C. peruviana G. Chacón. Finally, the liquid medium Calderón for marine algae is validated for this last species.
