  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Cilindrospermopsis"; "Cjilindrospeflnopsis"; "Crlindrospermopsis"; "Cvlindrospermopsis"; "Cylindospermopsis"; "Cylindroapermopsia"; "Cylindrospemnopsis"; "Cylindrospennapsis"; "Cylindrospennopsis"; "Cylindrospermapsis"; "Cylindrospermonsir"; "Cylindrospermopais"; "Cylindrospermopsix"; "Cylindrospermosis"; "Cylindrospermupsis"; "Cylindrosperrnopsis"; "Cylindrospmnopsis"; "Cylondrospermopsis"; "Oylindrospermopsis".
  • Cylindrospermopsis is the correct name if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
