Notes:
- 🧕 Brebisson (1839) assigned this genus to the phylum "Cyanobacteria". Publication: Brébisson Ad. De quelques nouveaux genres d'algues. Mémoires de la Société Académique, Agricole, Industrielle et d'Instruction de l'Arrondissement de Falaise 1839; 1839:34-37.
- 🧕 Komarek and Golubic (1990) assigned this genus to the subfamily "Merismopedioideae". Publication: Komarek J, Golubic S. Guide to the Nomenclature and formal taxonomic treatment of oxyphototroph prokaryotes (Cyanoprokaryotes). Unknown Publisher, Unknown City, 1990.
- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Merismopedia Meyen 1839. Publication: Trevisan VBA. Nomenclator algarum, ou collection des noms imposées aux plantes de la famille des algues. Imprimerie du Seminaire, Padoue, 1845.
- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Agmenelilum"; "Agmenelium"; "Agmenellium"; "Agmenelum"; "Agmeoellum"; "Agnemellum".
- ❗ Agmenellum is the correct name instead if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
