    Notes:
    • ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. 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:
  • 🧕 Chen et al. (2021) assigned this genus to the family Chromobacteriaceae Adeolu and Gupta 2013. Publication: Chen S, Rudra B, Gupta RS. Phylogenomics and molecular signatures support division of the order Neisseriales into emended families Neisseriaceae and Chromobacteriaceae and three new families Aquaspirillaceae fam. nov., Chitinibacteraceae fam. nov., and Leeiaceae fam. nov. Syst Appl Microbiol 2021; 44:126251. 🇨🇦
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Crepobacter"; "Cxrenobacter".
