Of course, I use Anser cygnoides instead of Anser cygnoid because cygnoid doesn't mean anything. In cases like this, when names doesn't make sense, we don't care about the original spelling rule, no?
Honestly, replace this sh*t by cygnoides please, a real Latin word, cygnoid is an abomination (like my command of English
)

I'm sure it's just a typo and probably not the only one.

If you look at the protologue, it's not "Cygnoid", it is "Cygnoid." (with a fullstop), i.e., an abbreviation. I'd be sure it was intended to be spelled out in full, if there'd been more space on the page.

This is a known issue. All specific names in Linnaeus 1758 ([here]) end in a full stop, thus this cannot be treated as a hard indication of an abbreviation. The name here was presumably written in a abbreviated form which should have been expanded, but was not. Or the name was abbreviated because the text it corresponded to was a single line, and having a two-line name in the margin matching a single-line description in the main text was regarded as a problem. In 1761 ([Fauna Suecica, editio altera]) and 1766 ([Systema Naturae, editio 12ma]), Linnaeus indeed wrote it "cygnoides".
The correction has generally been accepted, and should thus, in principle, stand.
(It's not an isolated case. There are other names that were obvious, but not fully demonstrable abbreviations by Linnaeus, which were completed by most subsequent authors, but abbreviated again recently. E.g., [Lanius] leucoryn., [Psittacus] haematod. and (Psittacus) mascarin. [here].)

It's a pity that they didn't reorder the species which were assigned to new genera. They left Nesophlox embedded inside Calliphlox in the spreadsheet sequence, and likewise Gulosus embedded inside Phalacrocorax.
