  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Solimonodaceae".
  • 🧍 Illegitimate according to Tindall 2014; Naushad et al. 2015 proposed to transfer the type genus Solimonas to the family Nevskiaceae Henrici and Johnson 1935 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Tindall BJ. The family name Solimonadaceae Losey et al. 2013 is illegitimate, proposals to create the names 'Sinobacter soli' comb. nov. and 'Sinobacter variicoloris' contravene the Code, the family name Xanthomonadaceae Saddler and Bradbury 2005 and the order name Xanthomonadales Saddler and Bradbury 2005 are illegitimate and notes on the application of the family names Solibacteraceae Zhou et al. 2008, Nevskiaceae Henrici and Johnson 1935 (Approved Lists 1980) and Lysobacteraceae Christensen and Cook 1978 (Approved Lists 1980) and order name Lysobacteriales Christensen and Cook 1978 (Approved Lists 1980) with respect to the classification of the corresponding type genera Solibacter Zhou et al. 2008, Nevskia Famintzin 1892 (Approved Lists 1980) and Lysobacter Christensen and Cook 1978 (Approved Lists 1980) and importance of accurately expressing the link between a taxonomic name, its authors and the corresponding description/circumscription/emendation.

  • 🧍 Sheu et al. 2011 propose to transfer the type species of the type genus of the family Sinobacteraceae in the genus Solimonas. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Sinobacter to Solimonas. As a consequence, the name Sinobacter has incorrectly been interpreted as "defunct" and an inconsistency in nomenclature regarding the name Sinobacteraceae been assumed. Therefore, Losey et al. 2013 propose the name Solimonadaceae fam. nov. to include members of the genera Solimonas (entailing Sinobacter) and Fontimonas, which is not in accordance with the rules of the code. Publication: Losey NA, Stevenson BS, Verbarg S, Rudd S, Moore ER, Lawson PA. Fontimonas thermophila gen. nov., sp. nov., a moderately thermophilic bacterium isolated from a freshwater hot spring, and proposal of Solimonadaceae fam. nov. to replace Sinobacteraceae Zhou et al. 2008.
