Note: Preliminary results of a study by R.R. Colwell indicate that the genus Listonella MacDonell and Colwell 1986 is not well-defined and requires redefinition.

Type strain: (see also Global Catalogue of Microorganisms) ATCC 33539= CAIM 331 = CCUG 13626 = CDC 2588-80 = CIP 102761 = IFO (now NBRC) 15633 = DSM 7482 = LMG 7892 = NCTC 11647.

Note: The specific epithet damsela (sic) has been corrected in the new combination Photobacterium damselae [see, ¤ Photobacterium damselae corrig. (Love et al. 1982) Smith et al. 1991, comb. nov.]. However the name "Listonella damselae" corrig. has never been formally proposed before December 14, 2000 (date of publication of the amended Rule 61; see Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol., 2000, 50, page 2239, column 2). Consequently, in the "List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature", the epithet damsela (sic) has been maintained for Listonella damsela.

Listonella pelagia (Baumann et al. 1971) MacDonell and Colwell 1986, comb. nov.
Type strain: (see also Global Catalogue of Microorganisms) ATCC 25916= CAIM 324 = CECT 4202 = CCUG 16398 = CIP 102762 = IFO (now NBRC) 15639 = JCM 21191 = LMG 3897 = NCCB 76038 = NCIMB 1900 = NCTC 11316.
Sequence accession no. (16S rRNA gene) for the type strain: AJ293802.
Basonym: ¤ Beneckea pelagia Baumann et al. 1971 (Approved Lists 1980).
Other synonym: ¤ Vibrio pelagius (Baumann et al. 1971) Baumann et al. 1981.
Etymology: L. fem. adj. pelagia, of or belonging to the sea.

Notes:
1 Baumann et al. deposited the type strain of Listonella pelagia (¤ Beneckea pelagia) at the American Type Culture Collection as ATCC 25916, and at the National Collections of Industrial Food and Marine Bacteria as NCIMB (formerly NCMB) 1900. According to Macián et al. 2000, the strain ATCC 25916and strains directly derived from ATCC 25916(i.e. strain CECT 4202) really represent the originally described type strain whereas strain NCIMB 1900 and strains derived from NCIMB 1900 (i.e. strain CIP 102762) highly likely are representatives of ¤ Vibrio natriegens (Payne et al. 1961) Baumann et al. 1981.
