• Notes:
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Catellatospora Asano and Kawamoto 1986. Publication: Asano K, Kawamoto I. Catellatospora, a new genus of the Actinomycetales. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1986; 36:512-517.
  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Niemhom et al. (2016). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. The phrase "validly described" is misleading. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria?
