Several novel species, genera, and families have been established using a polyphasic approach, which has provided a greater resolution in the systematics of these organisms. The Calotrichaceae, as of today, stands as a well\u2010resolved and monophyletic clade with at least five genera. The family has had some major revisions as well as additions. In addition, parameters such as the comparison of the 16S\u201323S ITS rRNA regions for the separation of one species from another have also grown and evolved and been amended recently within the genus\n                    <jats:italic>Dulcicalothrix<\/jats:italic>\n                    of the family Calotrichaceae. This approach has created the need to compare orthologous 16S\u201323S ITS rRNA region operons for better resolution at the species level. This study reviews the taxonomic advancements within the family Calotrichaceae with a discussion on the taxonomic status of the ambiguous positioning of the genus\n                    <jats:italic>Neocalothrix<\/jats:italic>\n                    and\n                    <jats:italic>Phayaothrix<\/jats:italic>\n                    .
