  • 🧕 Kirchner (1898) assigned this genus to the family Oscillatoriaceae Engler 1898. Publication: Kirchner O. Schizophyceae. In: Engler A, Prantl K (eds), Die natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien. I. Teil, Abt. 1a, Wilhelm Engelmann, Leipzig, 1898, p. 45-92.
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Schizothrix Kützing ex Gomont 1892. Publication: Gomont M. Monographie des Oscillariées (Nostocacées homocystées). Annales des Sciences Naturelles, Botanique, Série 7 1892; 15:263-368.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Enactis"; "Iactis"; "Inaclis"; "Inaetis"; "Inagtis"; "Inectis"; "Jnactis"; "Tnactis".
  • ❗ Inactis 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).
