Taxonomic remark Luchinina & Terleev, 2008 treat as fossil red algae similar to modern Corallinales; other sources such as Riding, 1991 and Săsăran et al., 2014 treat as fossil Cyanobacteria. Liu et al. 2015 (followed in IRMNG) treat as [micro]problematica, with the following statement: Early researchers suggested a chlorophyte (Bornemann 1886) or cyanobacterial (Pia 1927, p. 39) affinity for Epiphyton. Korde (1959, 1973) regarded Epiphyton as a red alga on the basis of cell structure that she identified in some filaments. This attribution was followed by Vologdin (1962), Johnson (1996b) and Chuvashov (in Chuvashov et al. 1987, p. 127). ... Luchinina (1975; in Chuvashov et al. 1987, p. 23) attributed Renalcis to Chroococcales and Epiphyton to Hormogonophyceae. Riding & Voronova (1982) noted that some stigonemataleans closely resemble epiphytaceans. Luchinina (2009) suggested that Renalcis and Epiphyton represent different stages in algal life cycles. ... Woo & Chough (2010) presented evidence of phototropism in Middle Cambrian Epiphyton from China, and regarded them as photosynthetic microbial colonies. We regard Epiphyton as a Microproblematicum.
