It includes the following species:
 * Cyanophora biloba
 * Cyanophora cuspidata
 * Cyanophora kugrensii

 * Cyanophora tetracyanea

These species are differentiated based on cell shape, number and position of cyanelles, and molecular data.

The species Cyanophora paradoxa is well-studied as a model organism.
