    • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Fischerella (Bornet and Flahault 1886) Gomont 1895. Publication: Geitler L. Schizophyta: Klasse Schizophyceae. In: Engler A, Prantl K (eds), Die natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien, Zweite Auflage. Vol. 1b, Wilhelm Engelmann, Leipzig, 1942, p. 1-232.
