All known species are marine. They can be single-celled (coccoid or flagellate), palmelloid or filamentous. Some members (Pelagomonas) belong to picoplankton, and some other (Sarcinochrysis) are macroscopic attached organisms.
The subclass contains 13 genera, 3 families and 2 orders (2017):
- Order Pelagomonadales Andersen & Saunders 1993
- Family Pelagomonadaceae Andersen & Saunders 1993
- genus Ankylochrysis Billard 1995
- genus Aureococcus Hargraves & Sieburth 1988
- genus Chrysophaeum Lewis & Bryan 1941 non Taylor 1951
- genus Pelagococcus Norris 1977
- genus Pelagomonas Andersen & Saunders 1993
- Family Pelagomonadaceae Andersen & Saunders 1993
- Order Sarcinochrysidales Gayral & Billard 1977
