Notes:
- Komarek and Golubic (1990) assigned this genus to the subfamily "Phormidioideae". Publication: Komarek J, Golubic S. Guide to the Nomenclature and formal taxonomic treatment of oxyphototroph prokaryotes (Cyanoprokaryotes). Unknown Publisher, Unknown City, 1990.
- Komarek et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the family Microcoleaceae Strunecký et al. 2013. Publication: Komárek J, Kaštovský J, Mareš J, Johansen JR. Taxonomic classification of cyanoprokaryotes (cyanobacterial genera) 2014, using a polyphasic approach. Preslia 2014; 86:295-335.
- For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Trichodesmium Ehrenberg ex Gomont 1892. Publication: Wille N. Nordisches Plankton, Schizophyceen. In: Brandt K (eds), Schizophycen der Plankton Expedition., Unknown Publisher, Unknown City, 1903, p. 18.
- This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Xanfotrichum"; "Xanthothrichum"; "Xantliothrichum"; "Xantofrichum"; "Xantotrichum".
- Xanthotrichum 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).
