⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.
🧍 Deleya aesta (Baumann et al. 1972) Baumann et al. 1983, Alcaligenes aquamarinus (ZoBell and Upham 1944) Hendrie et al. 1974 (Approved Lists 1980) and Alcaligenes faecalis subsp. homari Austin et al. 1981 are members of a single species of the genus Deleya Baumann et al. 1983. Akagawa and Yamasato 1989 invoked Rules 23a and 51b of the Bacteriological Code (1976 Revision) and came to the conclusion that the oldest synonym within these three species was Alcaligenes aquamarinus, and, therefore, proposed that the combination Deleya aquamarina be created. With the recognition of Deleya aesta as a synonym of Deleya aquamarina, the type species of the genus Deleya must be changed to Deleya aquamarina.
Notes:
🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Vreelandella de la Haba et al. 2024.Publication:
de la Haba RR, Arahal DR, Sánchez-Porro C, Chuvochina M, Wittouck S, Hugenholtz P, Ventosa A. A long-awaited taxogenomic investigation of the family Halomonadaceae. Frontiers in Microbiology 2023; 14:0.
🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Defeya"; "Deleyii"; "Deleyu"; "Deleyva"; "Drleya".
❗ Deleya 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: ATCC: 8; DSM: 8; CIP: 7; LMG: 7; NBRC: 5; JCM: 5; CCUG: 4; NCIMB: 4; CECT: 2; CGMCC: 1.
🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "DLYA" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer.Publication:

🧍 The interpretation presented by Akagawa and Yamasato (1989), is incorrect, since they did not take Rules 15 and 17 of the Bacteriological Code into consideration. These Rules override Rule 51b and mean that the type species of the genus Deleya Baumann et al. 1983 remains Deleya aesta (Baumann et al. 1972) Baumann et al. 1983, despite the fact that Alcaligenes aquamarinus (ZoBell and Upham 1944) Hendrie et al. 1974 is older. Thus, the proposal to adopt the combination Deleya aquamarina (ZoBell and Upham 1944) Akagawa and Yamasato 1989, as the type species of the genus Deleya contravenes two of the Rules of the Bacteriological Code. Firstly the proposal to change the type species of the genus Deleya contravenes Rule 15. In addition, instead of the combination Deleya aquamarina Akagawa and Yamasato 1989 the authors should have adopted the name Deleya aesta [Rule 51b (1)].Publication:
