Summary description from Wikipedia:

Dictyochloridaceae

Dictyochloris is a genus of green algae in the class Chlorophyceae. It is the sole genus of the family Dictyochloridaceae. It is commonly found in terrestrial and subaerial habitats.

The genus Dictyochloris was first described by Wilhelm Vischer in 1945. Later, it was re-investigated by Richard C. Starr in 1955. It is not to be confused with Dictyochloris Korshikov, which is an later (and thus illegitimate) homonym because it was described after Vischer used the name Dictyochloris. Because it is illegitimate, that genus was renamed to Dictyochlorella.
