- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Albidovulum Albuquerque et al. 2003. Publication: He W, Zhang DF, Li XJ, Wang HC, Wang LQ, Yuan Y. Description of Albidovulum litorale sp. nov., Albidovulum marisflavi sp. nov., Albidovulum salinarum sp. nov., and Albidovulum sediminicola sp. nov., and proposal for reclassification of the genus Defluviimonas as a later heterotypic synonym of Albidovulum.

- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Defluvimonas".
- 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Liu 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.
- ❗ Defluviimonas 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 phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.14567 (N = 1).
- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: MCCC: 4; KCTC: 4; JCM: 2; CGMCC: 2; LMG: 2; DSM: 2; CICC: 1; CECT: 1; KACC: 1; ATCC: 1.
