  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Geodemutophilaceae"; "Geodemzatophilaceae".
  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Montero-Calasanz et al. (2023), Montero-Calasanz et al. (2019). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.

  • 🧍 A genome-scale phylogenetic analysis of the family was conducted by Montero-Calasanz et al. (2017).

  • 🧍 The family name Geodermatophilaceae was first published by Normand et al. [1], but a formal description and the designation of the type genus were not included, thus making the name not validly published. On 31 July 2002, the Judicial Commission [2] decided that an erratum should be published in IJSEM to validly publish the name Geodermatophilaceae with Geodermatophilus as type genus of the family. In 2006, Normand [3] validly publishes the family name Geodermatophilaceae. Publication: Normand P, Orso S, Cournoyer B, Jeannin P, Chapelon C, Dawson J, Evtushenko L, Misra AK.
