IJSEM list: Oren A, Garrity GM. Validation list no. 199. List of new names and new combinations previously effectively, but not validly, published. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2021; 71:4773.

Nomenclatural status: validly published under the ICNP

Taxonomic status: synonym

Correct name: Colwellia Deming et al. 1988

• Synonyms:

  • Name	Kind
    Colwellia Deming et al. 1988	heterotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP

• Notes:
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Colwellia Deming et al. 1988. Publication: Jung SY, Oh TK, Yoon JH. Colwellia aestuarii sp. nov., isolated from a tidal flat sediment in Korea. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2006; 56:33-37. 🇰🇷
  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Kim et al. (2017). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • ❗ Cognaticolwellia 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: KCTC: 4; DSM: 2; CGMCC: 2; NBRC: 2; JCM: 1; MCCC: 1; LMG: 1.
  • 🧍 Colwellia was demonstrated in the analysis be Liu et al. (2020) to not be monophyletic. However, this was only caused by the placement of Litorilituus, which made Colwellia paraphyletic. This genus could have been included in Colwellia, which would have been the more conservative solution than proposing two new genera.
