  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Diplomemataceae"; "Diplouemataceae".
  • Illegitimate according to Silva (1980) because based on Stigonemataceae tribus Diplonemeae Borzì (1916, p. 570), which is based on Diplonema Borzì 1916, which is a later homonym. The same author regards Borzinema De Toni f. 1936 and Borzinemataceae Geitler 1942 as legitimate replacements. Publication: Silva PC.
