• Notes:
  • 🧕 Komarek and Golubic (1990) assigned this genus to the family Phormidiaceae Anagnostidis and Komárek 1988. Publication: Komarek J, Golubic S. Guide to the Nomenclature and formal taxonomic treatment of oxyphototroph prokaryotes (Cyanoprokaryotes). Unknown Publisher, Unknown City, 1990.
  • 🧕 Komarek and Golubic (1990) assigned this genus to the subfamily "Phormidioideae". Publication: Komarek J, Golubic S. Guide to the Nomenclature and formal taxonomic treatment of oxyphototroph prokaryotes (Cyanoprokaryotes). Unknown Publisher, Unknown City, 1990.
  • 🧕 Komarek et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the family Microcoleaceae (Hansgirg 1892) Strunecký et al. 2013. 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 Symploca Kützing ex Gomont 1892. Publication: Anagnostidis K, Komarek J. Modern approach to the classification system of cyanophytes - 3 - Oscillatoriales. Arch. Hydrobiol. Suppl. 1988; 80, 1-4:327-472.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Cyanohudnum".
  • ❗ Cyanohydnum 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).
