We propose the separation of Onslowia and Verosphacella from the Choristocarpaceae and from the Sphacelariales based on comparisons of DNA sequences of rbc L and nrRNA genes and morphological considerations. The new family Onslowiaceae is created to include these two genera. The families Choristocarpaceae and Onslowiaceae are considered incertae sedis.
