• Notes:
  • 🧕 Komarek and Golubic (1990) assigned this genus to the family Pseudanabaenaceae Anagnostidis and Komárek 1988. 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 Synechococcus Nägeli 1849. Publication: Komárek J. Generic identity of the "Anacystis nidulans" strain KRATZ-ALLEN/Bloom. 625 with Synechococcus NÄG. 1849. Archiv für Protistenkunde 1970; 112:343-364.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Ataciborskia"; "Racibomkia"; "Rueiborskia".
  • ❗ Raciborskia 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).
  • 🧍 Komarek and Golubic (1990) regard this name as a later homonym. Publication: Komarek J, Golubic S. Guide to the Nomenclature and formal taxonomic treatment of oxyphototroph prokaryotes (Cyanoprokaryotes). Unknown Publisher, Unknown City, 1990.
