🧕 Breed et al. (1957) assigned this genus to the family "Thiorhodaceae" Molisch 1907.
Publication:

- 🧕 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, Series 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, Sec. 2: Algas Phycochromaceas 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: Komarek J, Golubic S. Guide to the Nomenclature and formal taxonomic treatment of oxyphototroph prokaryotes (Cyanoprokaryotes). Unknown Publisher, Unknown City, 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.
