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