“…Their most distinctive character is the presence of long pseudocilia that extend beyond the mucilage. Pseudocilia do not beat and lack the central pair of microtubules found in normal flagella axonemes (Wujek & Chamber 1965, Lembi & Herdon 1966. Placed in the Chrysocapsaceae, Chrysomorula is included with those chrysophytes in which the vegetative cells are without flagella and are united with one another in palmelloid colonies as in the Tetrasporaceae sensu lato, the homologous family of the Chlorophyceae.…”

A new freshwater chrysophyte genus and species, Chrysomorula cohaerens, is described from the United States. Chrysomorula cohaerens is a distinct taxon of non-motile heterokont chrysophyte. It forms macroscopic mucilaginous colonies attached to aquatic macrophytes, filamentous algae, and other substrata. Each colony is initially held together forming a hollow sphere by the confluence of its cell walls. The colony is at first a sphere, becoming ovoid to irregular with growth in size. Thus, it differs from other similar chrysophyte genera such as Heimiochrysis and Chalkopyxis. Cells bear pseudocilia.
