Notes:

• 1) emend. (emendavit): Used when the alteration of the diagnostic characters or of the circumscription of a taxon modifies the nature of the taxon.
• 2) 'Nom. approb.' (= nomen approbatum, = approved name) refers to a name which is included in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names.
• 3) This taxonomic name has been effectively published but not validly published under the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (Bacteriological Code).
