Notes:
- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Microcystis Kützing ex Lemmermann 1907. Publication: Rabenhorst L. Flora Europaeum 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: "Illicraloa"; "Macraloa"; "Micralaa"; "Micruloa"; "Mieraloa".
- ❗ Micraloa 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).
- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: NIES: 1.
- 🧍 According to Komarek and Golubic (1990) originally assigned to Cyanobacteria but unclear, according to Drouet and Daily (1956) phytoflagellates. 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 "MCLO" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer.
