  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Turcicella"; "Turzcella".
  • Turicella 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 phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.04955 (N = 3).
  • The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: JCM: 1; CCUG: 1; ATCC: 1; DSM: 1; LMG: 1; CIP: 1.
