Nomenclatural notes
Lised in Wolowski (2011: 218) as "(Ehrenberg) Playfair 1915" The name was validated as given above by Ehrenberg (1934: pl. VII: fig. IV) by the publication of an illustration. - (11 May 2006) - G.M. Guiry
Seemingly originally first introduced without a description, but validated by analytical figures (see ICN Art. 38.7 "For the purpose of Art. 38.5, prior to 1 January 1908, an illustration with analysis (see Art. 38.9 and 38.10) is acceptable in place of a written description or diagnosis."). - (15 August 2016) - M.D. Guiry
Taxonomic note
Bourrelly & Couté (1978: 297, fig. 15) report "Trachelomonas cylindrica Playf." from the Étang de Glare in France. It is likely that Trachelomonas cylindrica Ehrenberg was in question. - (03 November 2023) - M.D. Guiry
