SUMMARY Recently, the genus name Brandtia Hoshina was given for a chlorellacean symbiotic alga residing in some ciliate species. However, it was found that Brandtia Hoshina 2017 is an illegitimate later homonym of Brandtia Kunth 1831. Therefore, a replacement name, Carolibrandtia nom. nov., for Brandtia Hoshina is here proposed.
