In ''Pikmin 2'', all Spectralids (Yellow, Red or Purple) were referred to as one species: "Unmarked Spectralids". Scientifically, all were classified within the [[Flitterbie family]] under ''Fenestari prismatus''. With the release of ''Pikmin 3'', Spectralids made a reappearance in three different colors ([[White Spectralids|white]], [[Yellow Spectralids|yellow]], and [[Red Spectralids|red]]), all defined as different species by the [[lock-on]] display. This was further proven by the [[Piklopedia (Pikmin 3 Deluxe)|Piklopedia]], which gives each their own species name. However, all were classified under the [[Flutterbie family]], one letter off from "Flitterbie". The Yellow and White Spectralids also share the ''Fenestari'' genus, despite not being part of the same family. The Red Spectralids, however, have the ''Fenestrati'' genus, only two letters off from ''Fenestari''. Adding to even more confusion, ''Hey! Pikmin'' introduces the [[Electric Spectralid]] as part of the [[Floaterbie family]]. It also shares the ''Fenestari'' genus.

Along with this, the singular and plural forms of "Spectralids" seems confused as well. All Spectralids in ''Pikmin 2'' are referred to in plural terms. In ''Pikmin 3'', all were called "Spectralids" despite being singular, meaning Spectralids is both singular and plural. However, in ''Hey! Pikmin'', the Electric Spectralid is completely singular. Although White and Yellow Spectralids appear in ''Hey! Pikmin'', they are not included within the [[Hey! Pikmin logs|creature logs]], meaning we cannot cross-reference it with the Piklopedia.
