🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Salipiger Martínez-Cánovas et al. 2004.

- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Citreiclla"; "Citriciella".
- ❗ Citreicella 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).
- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 3; UNIQEM: 1; MCC: 1; KCTC: 1; KACC: 1; LMG: 1; CCTCC: 1; MCCC: 1.
