  • Notes:
    • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Glacieibacterium Liu et al. 2021. Publication: Wang Y, You H, Kong YH, Sun C, Wu LH, Kim SG, Lee JS, Xu L, Xu XW. Genomic-based taxonomic classification of the order Sphingomonadales. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2025; 75:6769. 🇨🇳
    • ❗ Chioneia is the correct name instead 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: CECT: 4; LMG: 4.
