- 🛺 The type genus of this family has been placed in the family Eubacteriaceae Ludwig et al. 2010. Publication: Ludwig W, Schleifer K-H, Whitman WB. Family II. Eubacteriaceae fam. nov. In: De Vos P, Garrity GM, Jones D, Krieg NR, Ludwig W, Rainey FA, K.-H.

- ❗ Alkalibacteraceae is the correct name instead if this family is regarded as a separate family (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another family whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
