Koliella is a genus of green algae in the order Prasiolales.[2][3][4] Members of this genus are found in freshwater plankton, but some are also found on snow and ice.[5]
The genus name of Koliella is in honour of Erszébet (Elizabet) Kol (1897-1980), who was a Hungarian botanist (Mycology and Algology), who worked at the Hungarian National Museum in Budapest.[6]
The genus was circumscribed by František Hindák in Nova Hedwigia vol.6 (issues 1/2) on page 99 in 1963.
