Its type species is Acanthorrhynchium papillatum,^[2] which was previously considered to be the type of the older generic name Acanthodium Mitt. 1868. However, Acanthodium is a nomen illegitimum as a later homonym of angiosperm genus name Acanthodium Delile 1813 and thus Acanthorrhynchium is nomenclaturally correct.^[3]
