Taxonomy
J. S. Karling circumscribed ''Chytriomyces'' in 1945 for the species ''C. hyalinus'' and ''C. aureus''. The genus was intended to include monocentric chytrids with operculate, apophysate, epibiotic zoosporangia that exhibited vesicular zoospore discharge. Another requirement was resting spores that function as prosporangia during germination. With time and the addition of species, the generic concept was altered to include species lacking one or more of these features. Karling was not clear as to which of his species was the type; ''C. hyalinus'' was later designated the type. With the use of molecular phylogenetics, it has been determined that several species in this genus did not belong. For example, it was shown that ''C. poculatus'' and ''C. angularis'' were better classified in the new genus ''Lobulomyces''.Species
