    Notes:
    • Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 6 new species in the genus.
    • The emended genus Actinoplanes Couch 1950 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Stackebrandt and Kroppenstedt 1988 was inadvertently omitted from Validation List no. 26. This amended genus is to be regarded as having been validly published in List no. 26 (July 1988).
