Summary According to recent interpretations, all genera in the Acrochaetiaceae other than the monotypic Liagorophila Yamada have been synonymized with Audouinella Bory. In this report the taxonomic relationships of these taxa are examined. None of the characteristics previously used to distinguish Liagorophila are considered adequate, and L. endophytica is transferred to Audouinella. Since the specific epithet endophytica has been used previously m Audouinella , the name Audouinella yamadae , nom. nov., is proposed for this alga.
