The detailed analysis of the current views on the genus Chlamydomonas, its history and species number based on classic taxonomic approaches is given in the article. The selection of nomenclature type and culture-epitype with subcultures is discussed. The basic classic approaches to infrageneric systematics and principles of species identification are analyzed. We provide a review on molecular phylogenetic system of Chlamydomonas and its difference from the traditional one as well as the ways how both approaches can be combined. The major molecular phylogenetic studies, on which a division of Volvocales algae into molecular clades is based according to the Code of phylogenetic nomenclature, are highlighted. We also provide in detail the main molecular phylogenetic systems and indicate a number of species of the genus Chlamydomonas covered by this study. The studies of monad algae features (including species of the genus Chlamydomonas) in immotile stage under culture condition are discussed. The features specific for immotile stage of chlamydomonads under culture condition are presented.

Keywords: morphological features, Chlamydomonas, clade, systematics, taxonomy
