Nomenclatural notes
Nielsen & Gunnarsson (2001: 87) report the authorities for this species as (C. Agardh) Bory.

A proposal by Kjellman (1883: 372) is invalid according to Indec Nominum Algarum as it is cited as unacceptable combination of Conferva percursa C. Agardh 1817, in synonymy of Diplonema percursum (C. Agardh) Kjellman
