updated July 25, 2005
Diplospirograptus goldringae, the type species of the genus Diplospirograptus, was described by Ruedemann (1925) as an Middle Silurian dendroid graptolite from the Lockport limestone (Gasport lens), Gasport, N.Y.

    
Bulman (1955, 1970) suggested the algal nature of of this genus.

    
Mierzejewski (1986) treated Diplospirograptus as an alga of the class Chlorophyceae, close to the Dasycladaceae, especially the Batophoreae (see here)
