The Chlorophyceae are one of the classes of green algae, distinguished manly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology. They are divided into the following groups:

Order Dunaliellales?
Order Chalmydomonadales? (e.g. Chlamydomonas)
Order Volvocales? (e.g. Pandorina, Pleodorina, Volvox)
Order Chlorococcales? (e.g. Chlorella)
Order Tetrasporales? (e.g. Tetraspora)
Order Chlorosarcinales?
Order Sphaeropleales?
Order Microsporales?
Order Oedogoniales? (e.g. Oedogonium)
Order Cylindrocapsales?
Order Chaetophorales?

In older classifications, the term Chlorophyceae is sometimes used to apply to all the green algae except the Charales?, and the internal division is considerably different.
