Notes:
- Boone et al. (2001) assigned this genus to the family Hyphomicrobiaceae Babudieri 1950 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Garrity GM, Holt JG. The Road Map to the Manual. In: Boone DR, Castenholz RW, Garrity GM (eds), Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, second edition, vol. 1 (The Archaea and the deeply branching and phototrophic Bacteria), Springer-Verlag, New York, 2001, p. 119-166.
- The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Microcyclus Ørskov 1928 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Oerskov J. Beschreibung eines neuen Mikroben, Microcyclus aquaticus, mit eigentümlicher Morphologie. Zentralblatt fur Bakteriologie, Parasitenkunde, Infektionskrankheiten und Hygiene.

- This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Ancyclobacter"; "Ancytobacter".
- Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Chemodurova et al. (2020). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
- Replacement of the illegitimate name Microcyclus Ørskov 1928 (Approved Lists 1980), which is illegitimate because of precedence of the fungal genus Microcyclus Saccardo 1904 [Rule 51b (4)].
