Misplacement of Codium (algae) in ALA taxonomic tree

[CamSlatyer]

There are currently two placements of the genus Codium in the ALA one (derived from NZOR) is correctly kingdom (Plantae), subkingdom (Viridiplantae), infrakingdom (Chlorophyta), phylum (Chlorophyta), class (Chlorophyceae), order (Codiales), family (Codiaceae), genus (Codium). However the genus has also been incorrectly placed within the wasp genus Chetogaster Macquart, 1851 - Chetogaster is correctly placed within the ALA taxonomy but has a number of Codium genus/species combinations (both valid and unranked) placed against it, most names coming from CAAB. The Chetogaster (Codium) taxonomy needs to be removed and relevant records referred to Codium.
