Chlorotetraedron is a genus of green algae, in the family Neochloridaceae. The name may also be written as Chlorotetraëdon.[1] It is found as freshwater plankton or in soil.[2]
The genus was first described under the name of Pseudotetraedron by Frank J. MacEntee in 1977; however, that name was taken by a genus of algae in the Xanthophyceae (the yellow-green algae). Therefore, the genus was renamed to Chlorotetraedron.[2] Currently, three species are known.[2]
