All galaxy groups within 163 million light years (Mly) that:

• are cataloged in: "Groups of galaxies within 80 Mpc. II. The catalogue of groups and group members." P Fouque, E Gourgoulhon, P Chamaraux, G Paturel, Astronomy and Astrophysics Supplement Series, 93:211-233 (1992)
• are designated by a member galaxy cataloged in "50 Mpc Galaxy Catalog (50 MGC): Consistent and Homogeneous Masses, Distances, Colors, and Morphologies." David Ohlson, Anil C. Seth, Elena Gallo, Vivienne F. Baldassare, and Jenny E. Greene, The Astronomical Journal, 167:31 (18pp) (2024 January).
