- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Siphonophycus Schopf 1968. Publication: Knoll AH, Swett K, Mark J. Paleobiology of a Neoproterozoic tidal flat/lagoonal complex: the Draken Conglomerate Formation, Spitsbergen. J Paleontol 1991; 65:531-570.
- ❗ Tenuofilum 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).
