The Chlorellales include mostly freshwater or terrestrial (rarely marine), coccoid algae. Molecular phylogenetic studies mostly tend to find Chlorellales to consist of two sister clades, corresponding to Chlorellaceae and Oocystaceae; however, in some studies the two are not sister to each other, making Chlorellales not monophyletic.
Genera of uncertain placement include:
