Struveopsis is a genus of green algae in the family Boodleaceae.[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Willem ten Rhijne (Wilhelmus ten Rhyne) and Harold Ernest Robinson in Phytologia vol.17 (7) on pages 467-468 in 1968.
The genus name of Struveopsis is in honour of Gustav Adolph Struve (1811–1889), who was a German Apothecary and botanist. He was an apothecary in his hometown of Dresden.[3]
