  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Chryseobacterium Vandamme et al. 1994.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Epilithonimo"; "Epilithonmonas"; "Epilithonomonas"; "Epillithonimonas".
  • 🧔 This taxon was discussed in a meeting of a Taxonomic Subcommittee of the ICSP. Publication: Bowman JP, Hugo C, Nicholson A, Hahnke R, Lau EF, Holmes B, Sutcliffe I. International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes: Subcommittee on the taxonomy of aerobic Bacteroidota. Minutes of the online meeting 25 April 2023. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2023; 73:6144.

  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Shaked et al. (2010), Kaempfer et al. (2015). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • ❗ Epilithonimonas 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: DSM: 9; CCUG: 4; CIP: 3; CCM: 3; JCM: 2; KCTC: 2; NCIMB: 1; CGMCC: 1; NRRL: 1; NBRC: 1.
