• Notes:
  • 🧕 Copeland (1936) assigned this genus to the family Entophysalidaceae Geitler 1925. Publication: Copeland JJ. YELLOWSTONE THERMAL MYXOPHYCEAE. Ann. New York Acad. Sci. 1936; 36:20.
  • 🧕 Komarek and Golubic (1990) assigned this genus to the subfamily "Synechococcoideae". Publication: Komarek J, Golubic S. Guide to the Nomenclature and formal taxonomic treatment of oxyphototroph prokaryotes (Cyanoprokaryotes). Unknown Publisher, Unknown City, 1990.
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus [Johannesbaptistia]. Publication: Komárek J, Anagnostidis K. Nomenclatural novelties in chroococcalean cyanoprokaryotes. Preslia, Praha 1995; 67:15-23.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Heteroharmogonium"; "Heterohormogonlum"; "Hetsrohormogonium".
  • ❗ Heterohormogonium 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).
