The original locality for Taenioma nanum Papenfuss (= T. macrourum Schousboe ex Thuret in Bornet et Thuret) appears to have been the Gulf of Naples (Kützing, 1849, p. 897) rather than South Africa, as pointed out by Papenfuss (1951)

The species has been collected again near Naples by Falkenberg (1901, p. 709, as Taenioma perpusillum), then by Levring in Capri island (1942, as Taenioma perpusillum J. Agardh), together with Lophosiphonia cristata Falkenberg, from shallow waters.
