Hyalochlorella marina, the only species in the genus Hyalochlorella and also known as Dermocystidium sp., is a marine heterotrophic eukaryote with uncertain phylogenic position.{{Cite journal |last=Poyton |first=R.

Phylogeny

Hyalochlorella marina was first classified as a fungus under the name Dermocystidium sp.{{Cite journal |last1=Goldstein |first1=Solomon |last2=Moriber |first2=Louis |date=1966 |title=Biology of a problematic marine fungus, Dermocystidium sp.: I.

It also shows similarities to more recently described Ichthyosporea Sphaeroforma species, in particular Sphaeroforma tapetis (previously known as Pseudoperkinsus tapetis).{{Cite journal |last1=Jøstensen |first1=Jens-Petter |last2=Sperstad |first2=Sigmund |last3=Johansen |first3=Steinar |last4=Landfald |first4=Bjarne |date=2002-01-01 |title=Molecular-phylogenetic, structural and biochemical features of a cold-adapted, marine ichthyosporean near the animal-fungal divergence, described from in vitro cultures |url=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0932473904700528 |journal=European Journal of Protistology |language=en |volume=38 |issue=2 |pages=93–104 |doi=10.1078/0932-4739-00855 |issn=0932-4739|url-access=subscription }}{{Cite journal |last1=Hassett |first1=Brandon T. |last2=López |first2=J.
