Allomonas Kalina et al. 1984, gen. nov.
Type species: ¤ Allomonas enterica Kalina et al. 1984.

→ ¤ Vibrio Pacini 1854 (Approved Lists 1980).
Note: According to several members of the "subcommittee on the taxonomy of Vibrionaceae", Allomonas enterica Kalina et al. 1984 (the type species of the genus Allomonas Kalina et al. 1984) is a later heterotypic synonym of ¤ Vibrio fluvialis Lee et al. 1981. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Allomonas to ¤ Vibrio.

→ ¤ Vibrio fluvialis Lee et al. 1981.
Note: According to several members of the "subcommittee on the taxonomy of Vibrionaceae", Allomonas enterica Kalina et al. 1984 is a later heterotypic synonym of ¤ Vibrio fluvialis Lee et al. 1981. The two organisms are essentially identical in phenotype and are highly related as determined by DNA-DNA hybridization.
