• Notes:
  • ❗ Oscillatoria terebriformis f. caucasica is the correct name instead if this form is regarded as a separate form (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another form whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate species Oscillatoria terebriformis within a separate genus Oscillatoria.
  • ✏ The authority of the taxon name (Elenkin and Kossinskaja) deliberately differs from the author of the publication (Elenkin).
