• Notes:
  • 🧕 Falcao-De Morais et al. (1966) assigned this genus to the family Actinoplanaceae Couch 1955 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Falcão De Morais JO, Batista AC, Massa DMG. Elytrosporangium: a new genus of the Actinomycetales. Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata 1966; 30:161-171.
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Streptomyces Waksman and Henrici 1943 (Approved Lists 1980).

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Efytrosporangium"; "Elyrosporangium"; "Elythrosporangium"; "Etytrosporangium"; "Lytrosporangium".
  • ❗ Elytrosporangium 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: VKM: 7; NBRC: 6; JCM: 4; DSM: 4; IFO: 4; ATCC: 4; KCTC: 3; CBS: 2; IFM: 2; NRRL: 2.
