Notes:

• 1) Duplicate name. This name, above species rank, is duplicated within the NCBI classification 1) due to its independent use within separate Codes of Nomenclature; 2) its valid duplication at different ranks within a single Code (e.g. genus and subgenus); 3) unresolved lineage placement; or 4) as unresolved homonym within a single Code.
• 2) This taxonomic name has been effectively published but not validly published under the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (Bacteriological Code).
