• Notes:
  • For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Rickettsiella Philip 1956 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Saini N, Gupta RS.

  • Diplorickettsia is the correct name 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).
