Notes:
- The culture collection accession number ATCC PTA-4839 appears to refer to a number issued for patent purposes - no evidence is presented that the patent has been awarded or laid open. It is questionable that this name can be considered to be validly published.
- The specific epither illinoisensis is a "N.L. masc. adj.", not a "N.L. gen. n." as cited in the paper by Bogan et al. 2003.
