Notes:
-
🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Siphonophycus Schopf 1968.
Publication:
Knoll AH, Swett K, Mark J. Paleobiology of a Neoproterozoic tidal flat/lagoonal complex: the Draken Conglomerate Formation, Spitsbergen. J Paleontol 1991; 65:531-570.
- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Bomycetopsis"; "Enmycetopsis"; "Eomyeetopsis"; "Eormycetopsis".
- ❗ Eomycetopsis is the correct name instead 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).
