Note: Fukui et al. 2012 propose to transfer Zhangella mobilis Xu et al. 2009, the type species of the genus Zhangella, to the genus ¤ Maritalea as ¤ Maritalea mobilis (Xu et al. 2009) Fukui et al. 2012, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Zhangella to ¤ Maritalea.
