  • 🧕 Komarek and Golubic (1990) assigned this genus to the family Pseudanabaenaceae Anagnostidis and Komárek 1988. 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.
  • 🧕 Komarek et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the family Romeriaceae Komárek et al. 2014. Publication: Komárek J, Kaštovský J, Mareš J, Johansen JR. Taxonomic classification of cyanoprokaryotes (cyanobacterial genera) 2014, using a polyphasic approach. Preslia 2014; 86:295-335. 🇨🇿
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Romeria Koczwara 1932. Publication: Komárek J. Review of the cyanoprokaryotic genera Romeria. Czech Phycology, Olomouc 2001; 1:5-19.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Campylatropium".
  • ❗ Campylotropium 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).
