• Notes:
  • 🧕 Komarek and Golubic (1990) assigned this genus to the subfamily "Nostocoideae". Publication: Komárek J, Golubić S. Guide to the Nomenclature and formal taxonomic treatment of oxyphototroph prokaryotes (Cyanoprokaryotes). Published by the Authors, Třeboň and Boston, 1990.
  • 🧕 Randhawa (1936) assigned this genus to the family Nostocaceae Eichler 1886. Publication: Randhawa MS. Genus Anabaenothrix and parallelism in evolution in freshwater algae. Proceedings of the Indian Academy of Sciences, Section B 1936; 3:407-410.
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Wollea Bornet and Flahault 1886. Publication: Singh RN. Wollea Bharadwajae sp. nov. and its autoecology. Annals of Botany, New Series 1942; 6:593-606.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Ambaenothrix"; "Anabaenothrixr"; "Anabaenotkrix"; "Anabcanothrix"; "Anabcenothrix"; "Anabcnothrix"; "Anabtznothrix"; "Anabwnothrix".
