Note: McVeigh et al. 1994 propose to transfer ¤ Pseudoamycolata halophobica Akimov et al. 1989 (the type species of the genus Pseudoamycolata) to the genus ¤ Pseudonocardia as ¤ Pseudonocardia halophobica (Akimov et al. 1989) McVeigh et al. 1994, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Pseudoamycolata to ¤ Pseudonocardia.
