  • 🧕 Geitler (1925) assigned this genus to the family Stigonemataceae (Agardh ex Bornet and Flahault 1886) Borzì 1892. Publication: Geitler L. Synoptische Darstellung der Cyanophyceen in morphologischer und systematischer Hinsicht. Beihefte zum Botanischen Centralblatt 1925; 41:163-294.
  • 🧕 Komarek and Golubic (1990) assigned this genus to the family "Fischerellaceae" Anagnostidis and Komárek 1990. 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 Hapalosiphon Nägeli ex Bornet and Flahault 1886. Publication: Komárek J. Nomenclatural changes in heterocytous Cyanoprokaryotes (Cyanobacteria, Cyanophytes). Fottea 2012; 12:143.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Semmierella"; "Sommierclla".
  • ❗ Sommierella 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).
