Scleroderma is not a plant ...

Followup,
        Article 18 concerning botanical family names gives the following example (in Ex. 1):  Sclerodermataceae from Scleroderma (Sclerodermatos being the genitive):   https://www.bgbm.org/iapt/nomenclature/code/SaintLouis/0022Ch3Sec2a018.htm

Hi Tony,
        The longer AlgaeBase names look correct to me.  It's probably similar to why we have Zygnematales (not Zygnemales).  It think it has something to do with "derma" being Greek and changing it to the genitive case.   Thus we have dermatologists, not dermologists.  Not sure what article in the Botanical Code would provide the exact reason.

Greetings Taxacomers,

In 2020, Marin & Melkonian (in Li et al., Nature Ecology & Evolution 4:
1220-1231, supplement), established a new division (=phylum), class, order and family of "plants" / "algae", as follows:

Prasinodermophyta B. Marin & Melkonian divisio nova Prasinodermophyceae B. Marin & Melkonian classis nova Prasinodermales B. Marin & Melkonian ordo novis Prasinodermaceae B. Marin & Melkonian familia nova

all names based on the type genus name which is Prasinoderma Hasegawa & Chihara in Hasegawa et al. (1996)

These names have been entered into AlgaeBase (present version) but with a modified stem, namely Prasinodermatophyta,  Prasinodermatophyceae, Prasinodermatales and Prasinodatermaceae, but without further explanation so far as I can see. So my question is, which form(s) would be correct to use in my own compendium, with relevant explanation as needed?

Article 16 in the current Code (
https://www.iapt-taxon.org/nomen/pages/main/art_16.html) covers "NAMES OF TAXA ABOVE THE RANK OF FAMILY" but not this particular issue, again so far as I can see.

Advice appreciated, as usual...
