Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961, species.
Type strain: (see also Global Catalogue of Microorganisms) ICMP 2608 = ICPB CI144, not ATCC 14264as cited in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names (see below).
Sequence accession no. (16S rRNA gene) for the type strain: not found.
Etymology: N.L. n. Ilex -icis, a scientific botanical genus name; N.L. gen. n. ilicis, of Ilex, isolated from Ilex opaca.
Approved Lists reference: SKERMAN (V.B.D.), McGOWAN (V.) and SNEATH (P.H.A.) (editors): Approved Lists of Bacterial Names. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol., 1980, 30, 225-420 (Approved Lists of Bacterial Names in IJSEM Online - Approved Lists of Bacterial Names Amended edition).
Original publication: MANDEL (M.), GUBA (E.F.) and LITSKY (W.): The causal agent of bacterial blight of American holly. Bacteriological Proceedings, 1961, p. 61.

Note:
In the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names, the type strain of Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961 is cited as ATCC 14264 Although it was initially thought that ATCC 14264= DSM 20138 = NCPPB 1228 were derived from a strain that Mandel et al. 1961 considered to be pathogenic on American holly (Ilex opaca), this has proven not to be the case.
Strain ATCC 14264= DSM 20138 = NCPPB 1228 does not exhibit one of the original diagnostic features of Corynebacterium ilicis, namely pathogenesis on American holly, and cannot represent this species. In contrast, Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961, represented by the strain ICMP 2608 = ICPB CI144, is pathogenic for American holly.
Following a Request for an Opinion [1], the Judicial Commission [2] has therefore ruled (i) that ATCC 14264= DSM 20138 = NCPPB 1228 cannot serve as the type of the species Corynebacterium ilicis, but may serve as the type of a different taxon, ¤ Arthrobacter ilicis; and (ii) that the name Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961 is represented by the type strain ICMP 2608 = ICPB CI144.
Consequently, (i) Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961 (Approved Lists 1980) is not a homotypic synonym of ¤ Arthrobacter ilicis; and (ii) ¤ Arthrobacter ilicis must be cited as Arthrobacter ilicis Collins et al. 1982, not as Arthrobacter ilicis (Mandel et al. 1961) Collins et al. 1982, comb. nov.

Note: None of the reference strains fits the descriptions in the original publications. It appears that the wrong strains were deposited in Major Culture Collections. This is a substantial case for declaring Corynebacterium striatum a nomen dubium (Rule 56a). However, if a careful search reveals a strain or strains used in the original description agreeing in its characteristics, then a neotype strain can be proposed (Rule 18c).
