  • ❗ Butyricicoccaceae 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).
  • 🧍 While the authors did not explicitly propose this taxon name, they did not provide a proper citation of the authority of the name either.
