The spherical green alga  Volvox  consists of several hundred or thousand of somatic cells that undergo terminal differentiation, senescence and death, and a small number of gonidia (asexual reproductive cells) that give rise to the next generation. In the first part of this paper, the ontogenetic diversity of the genus  Volvox  is briefly considered, as well as the mechanisms of differentiation into the two types of cells mentioned above, which have been thoroughly studied during recent years in  Volvox carteri . Then, a detailed critical analysis of the literature and some of my own data on senescence and cell death (mainly in  V. carteri  and, to a lesser extent, in  V. aureus ) was carried out, and it was noted that this aspect of  Volvox  developmental biology has not been sufficiently studied. Some perspectives of further research of the processes of cell death and senescence in representatives of the genus  Volvox  in a comparative aspect are indicated.
