Sporotalea Boga et al. 2007, gen. nov.
Type species: ¤ Sporotalea propionica Boga et al. 2007.

Note: Moe et al. 2012 propose to transfer ¤ Sporotalea propionica Boga et al. 2007, the type species of the genus Sporotalea, to the genus ¤ Pelosinus as ¤ Pelosinus propionicus (Boga et al. 2007) Moe et al. 2012, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Sporotalea to ¤ Pelosinus.
