    • 🧕 Komarek and Golubic (1990) assigned this genus to the family Mastigocladaceae Geitler 1925. 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 "Symphyonemataceae" Hoffmann et al. 2005. 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. 🇨🇿
