Short summary
Cylindroporella sugdeni Elliott, 1957, a fossil green calcareous alga originally found in lower Cretaceous strata of Oman, is revised. The species is transferred from the genus Cylindroporella Johnson, 1954, the thallus of which bears both fertile and sterile laterals, to the genus Holosporella Pia, 1930, the thallus of which bears only fertile laterals.
