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