Several coccoid cyanobacterial strains, morphologically similar to typical characteristics of Chroococcus, from the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau were isolated and characterized using a polyphasic approach including morphological and molecular information. Morphological characteristics, the phylogeny based on 16S rRNA gene, and 16S–23S internal transcribed spacer secondary structures support establishing a novel Chroococcus‐like genus, Cryptochroococcus gen. nov., as well as Limnococcus fonticola sp. nov. Limnococcus is phylogenetically included in Chroococcaceae and has irregularly arranged thylakoids. Therefore, it should no longer be a member of Merismopediaceae (Synechococcales). The phylogeny based on the 16S rRNA gene revealed that Chroococcus‐associated genera were monophyletic.
