This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Acinomycetes"; "Aclinomycetes"; "Acrinomycete"; "Acrinomycetes"; "Actillomycetes"; "Actimmycetes"; "Actinimycetes"; "Actinomvicetes"; "Actinomycetalis"; "Actinomycetea"; "Actinomycetos"; "Actinomyetes"; "Actinomyicetes"; "Actinomyoetes"; "Actinomyretes"; "Actinomytcetes"; "Actinoniycetes"; "Actinoycetes"; "Actionmycetes"; "Actiuomycetes"; "Actmomycetes"; "Antinomycetes"; "Ctinomycetes"; "Rctinomycetes".
This taxon name is occasionally used in singular form as: "Actinomycete".
According to Tindall (2014) the type order is Actinomycetales Buchanan 1917.Publication:
Tindall BJ. Names at the rank of class, subclass and order, their typification and current status: Supplementary information to Opinion 79. Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:3599-3602.
This name was mentioned in a Request for an Opinion.Publication:
Oren A, Parte A, Garrity GM. Implementation of Rule 8 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes for the renaming of classes. Request for an Opinion. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2016; 66:4296-4298.
Rule 22 indicates that the type of a taxon higher than order may be later designated by an Opinion of the Judicial Commission.Publication:
Euzeby JP, Tindall BJ. Nomenclatural type of orders: corrections necessary according to Rules 15 and 21a of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision), and designation of appropriate nomenclatural types of classes and subclasses. Request for an opinion. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2001; 51:725-727.
The class Actinomycetes was originally proposed without the designation of a nomenclatural type, thus contravening Rules 15, 22 and 27(3).Publication:
