  • 🧕 Komarek and Anagnostidis (1999) assigned this genus to the family Synechococcaceae Komárek and Anagnostidis 1995. Publication: Komarek J, Anagnostidis K. Cyanoprokaryota. 1. Chroococcales. In: Ettl H, Gärtner G, Heynig H, Mollenhauer D (eds), Süßwasserflora von Mitteleuropa. Begründet von A. Pascher. Band 19/1., Spektrum, Akademischer Verlag, Heidelberg and Berlin, 1999, p. 1-548.
  • 🧕 Komarek and Golubic (1990) assigned this genus to the subfamily "Synechococcoideae". 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 Rhabdoderma Schmidle and Lauterborn 1900. Publication: Komárek J, Anagnostidis K. Nomenclatural novelties in chroococcalean cyanoprokaryotes. Preslia, Praha 1995; 67:15-23.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Catmella".
  • ❗ Catella 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).
