  • Notes:
    • 🧕 Breed et al. (1957) assigned this genus to the family "Thiorhodaceae" Molisch 1907. Publication: Parker CD. Genus V. Thiobacillus Beijerinck 1904. In: Breed RS, Murray EGD, Smith NR (eds), Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology, 7th edition, The Williams & Wilkins Co, Baltimore, 1957, p. 83-88.
    • 🧕 Elenkin (1933) assigned this genus to the family Merismopediaceae Elenkin 1933. Publication: Elenkin AA. O sistematicheskom podrazdenii poryadka Chroococcales Geitler (1925). Trudy Botanicheskogo Instituta Akademii Nauk SSSR, Ser. 2, Sporovye Rasteniya 1933; 1:17-21.
    • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Merismopedia Meyen 1839. Publication: Rabenhorst L. Flora Europaea Algarum Aquae Dulcis et Submarinae. Sectio II. Algas Phychochromaceas Complectens. Apud Eduardum Kummerum, Leipzig, 1865.
    • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Eryllbroconis"; "Erythraconis"; "Erythrocanis"; "Erythroeonis"; "Krythroconis".
    • ❗ Erythroconis 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).
    • 🧍 According to Komarek and Golubic (1990) originally assigned to Cyanobacteria but probably unidentifiable. 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.
    • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "ERTC" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
