• Notes:
  • Krassilnikov (1962) assigned this genus to the family Actinomycetaceae Buchanan 1918 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Krassilnikov NA. A new genus of ray fungus-Actinopycnidum n. gen. of family Actinomycetaceae. Microbiologiya 1962; 31:250-253.
  • For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Streptomyces Waksman and Henrici 1943 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Pridham TG. New names and new combinations in the order Actinomycetales Buchanan 1917. Bulletin of the United States Department of Agriculture 1970; 1424:1-55.
  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Acthlopycnidium"; "Actinopycridium"; "Adinopycnidium".
  • Actinopycnidium is the correct name if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
  • The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: ATCC: 2; NBRC: 1; IFM: 1; CGMCC: 1; VKM: 1; JCM: 1; IFO: 1; KCTC: 1; DSM: 1; NCIMB: 1.
  • Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "ATPC" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
