Category, proposed as: genus, gen. nov.

Etymology: Co.sen.zae’a. N.L. fem. n. Cosenzaea, named after Benjamin J. Cosenza, the microbiologist who first described this micro-organism as Proteus myxofaciens in 1966

Gender, pronunciation (Latin): feminine (stem: Cosenzae-), ko-sen-ZA͡E-a

Type species: Cosenzaea myxofaciens (Cosenza and Podgwaite 1966) Giammanco et al. 2011

Valid publication: Giammanco GM, Grimont PA, Grimont F, Lefevre M, Giammanco G, Pignato S. Phylogenetic analysis of the genera Proteus, Morganella and Providencia by comparison of rpoB gene sequences of type and clinical strains suggests the reclassification of Proteus myxofaciens in a new genus, Cosenzaea gen. nov., as Cosenzaea myxofaciens comb. nov.

• Notes:
  • 🧕 Yilmaz et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the family Enterobacteriaceae Rahn 1937 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Yilmaz P, Parfrey LW, Yarza P, Gerken J, Pruesse E, Quast C, Schweer T, Peplies J, Ludwig W, Glöckner FO. The SILVA and “all-species living tree project (LTP)” taxonomic frameworks.

  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Proteus Hauser 1885 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Cosenza BJ, Podgwaite JD. A new species of Proteus isolated from larvae of the gypsy moth Porthetria dispar (L.). Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 1966; 32:187-191.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Casenzaea".
  • ❗ Cosenzaea 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: BCRC: 1; CCRC: 1; DSM: 1; CCUG: 1; NCIMB: 1; JCM: 1; ATCC: 1; LMG: 1; CIP: 1.
  • 🧍 In Fig. 1 of the paper by Behrendt et al. we see Cosenzaea myxofaciens embedded in a paraphyletic genus Proteus. For this reason, the analysis supports the view that Cosenzaea is a later heterotypic synonym of Proteus. Publication: Behrendt U, Wende S, Kolb S, Ulrich A.
