Family Geodermatophilaceae
Warning: In the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature, an arrow (→) only indicates the sequence of valid publication of names and does not mean that the last name in the sequence must be used (see: Introduction).

Notes:
1 The family name Geodermatophilaceae was first published by Normand et al. [1], but a formal description and the designation of the type genus were not included, thus making the name not validly published. On 31 July 2002, the Judicial Commission [2] decided that an erratum should be published in IJSEM to validly publish the name Geodermatophilaceae with ¤ Geodermatophilus as type genus of the family. In 2006, Normand [3] validly publishes the family name Geodermatophilaceae.
