nom. nov.

Zheleznaya Molinari & Guiry , nom. nov.

Replaced name: Kenella Korde, Trudy Paleontologicheskogo Instituta Akademii Nauk SSSR 139: 216, 1973 (Cyanobacteria, Zheleznayaceae ), non Kenella Samylina (1968: 211) , Magnoliidae incertae sedis.

Type: Kenella ornata Korde (a monotypic genus at the time of publication).

Notes: The genus, renamed for its type locality at the Srednyaya Zheleznaya [Средняя Железная; Middle Iron] River, was originally placed among the red algae; however, Riding & Voronova (1985) stated that the oldest representatives of the Botomaella transitional series, including Kenella , are cyanobacteria allied to the Rivulariaceae , a view confirmed by Riding (1991). Since the generic name upon which is based was illegitimate at the time of publication, Kenellaceae is also illegitimate (Art. 18.3, Turland & al. 2018), and is replaced (infra).

Species: Zheleznaya ornata (Korde) Molinari & Guiry , comb. nov. Basionym: Kenella ornata Korde, Trudy Paleontologicheskogo Instituta Akademii Nauk SSSR 139: 216, 1973.
