• Emendations:
  • Kageyama and Benno 2000 Kageyama A, Benno Y. Emendation of genus Collinsella and proposal of Collinsella stercoris sp. nov. and Collinsella intestinalis sp. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2000; 50:1767-1774. Anonymous. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 50, part 5 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2000; 50:1955.
    Notes:
    • Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 2 new species in the genus.
    • 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. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.

    Notes:
    • 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.
    • As of 2021-08-23 this emendation was not yet included in an IJSEM List of Changes in Taxonomic Opinion.

• Notes:
  • The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Bacteroides Castellani and Chalmers 1919 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Eggerth AH. The Gram-positive Non-spore-bearing Anaerobic Bacilli of Human Feces. J Bacteriol 1935; 30:277-299.
  • The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Eubacterium Prévot 1938 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Prévot AR. Études de systématique bactérienne. Annales de l'Institut Pasteur (Paris) 1938; 60:285-307.
  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Colinsella"; "Collinsela".
  • The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
  • Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Diop et al. (2019). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
