TL;DR: An inventory of the Scenedesmaceae was made in lake Agua Preta, the main component of the water reservoir of Belem, in Para State, based on four samples collected, during one year, from October 1992 to August 1993.
Abstract: An inventory of the Scenedesmaceae was made in lake Agua Preta This lake is the main component of the water reservoir of Belem, in Para State The inventory was based on four samples collected, during one year, from October 1992 to August 1993 The Scenedesmaceae family is represented by 15 taxa: Crucigenia fenestrata Schimidle, C quadrata Morren, Dicloster acuatus Jao, Wei & Hu, Dimorphococcus lunatus Braun, Scenedesmus acuminatus (Lagerheim) Chodat var acuminatus, S acuminatus (Lagerheim) Chodat var bernardii (GM Smith) Dedussenko, S armatus Chodat var bicaudatus (Guglielmetti) Chodat, S indicus Philipose, S perforatus Lemmermann var perforatus, S quadricauda (Turpin) Brebisson var quadricauda, Scenedesmus sp, Tetrallantos lagerheimii Teiling, Tetrastrum heteracanthum (Nordstedt) Chodat, T punctatum (Schimidle) Ahlstrom & Tiffany and Westella botryoides (W West) De Wildeman

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses showed that the studied Coelastrum taxa belong to several different lineages within the Scenedesmaceae, and the splitting into two families is not justified, but they belong to the monophyletic subfamily coelastroidea.
Abstract: Hegewald E., Wolf M., Keller A., Friedl T. and Krienitz L. 2010. ITS2 sequence-structure phylogeny in the Scenedesmaceae with special reference on Coelastrum (Chlorophyta, Chlorophyceae). Phycologia 49: 325–335. DOI: 10.2216/09-61.1 Sequences and secondary structures of the nuclear-encoded internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) ribosomal RNA of nine Coelastrum taxa, Asterarcys quadricellulare (Coelastraceae), Westella botryoides (hitherto Oocystaceae) and Dimorphococcus lunatus (Scenedesmaceae) were determined and compared with existing GenBank entries of scenedesmacean taxa (Desmodesmus, Enallax, Neodesmus, Scenedesmus). Phylogenetic analyses showed that the studied Coelastrum taxa belong to several different lineages within the Scenedesmaceae: five Coelastrum taxa (Coelastrum microporum, Coelastrum astroideum, C. astroideum var. rugosum = Coelastrum rugosum, Coelastrum pseudomicroporum and Coelastrum sphaericum incl. Coelastrum proboscideum) form monophyletic clades, whereas two strains labeled...
