Unconfirmed

These species are noted in recent scientific journals but not WoRMS. Four species listed below have not been formally described as of 2022.

  • Neopyropia sp. DRB
  • Neopyropia elongata
  • Neopyropia fucicola
  • Neopyropia katadae
  • Neopyropia kuniedae
  • Neopyropia lacerata
  • Neopyropia sp. LYCN190
  • Neopyropia moriensis
  • Neopyropia novae-angliae
  • Neopyropia sp. P10
  • Neopyropia sp. STI
  • Neopyropia tenera
  • Neopyropia yezoensis (Ueda) L.-E.Yang & J.Brodie, 2020[lower-alpha 1]

Notes

  1. The most recent consensus is that Neopyropia yezoensis belongs in Neopyropia (L.-E.Yang & J.Brodie, 2020), however WoRMS documents both this species and Pyropia yezoensis, its previous classification, separately.
