Notes:
- The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Bacillus Cohn 1872 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Heyrman J, Rodriguez-Diaz M, Devos J, Felske A, Logan NA, De Vos P. Bacillus arenosi sp. nov., Bacillus arvi sp. nov. and Bacillus humi sp. nov., isolated from soil. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2005; 55:111-117.
- The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Fredinandcohnia Gupta et al. 2020. Publication: Gupta RS, Patel S, Saini N, Chen S. Robust demarcation of 17 distinct Bacillus species clades, proposed as novel Bacillaceae genera, by phylogenomics and comparative genomic analyses: description of Robertmurraya kyonggiensis sp. nov. and proposal for an emended genus Bacillus limiting it only to the members of the Subtilis and Cereus clades of species. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:5753-5798.
- This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Fredninandcohnia".
- The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.06701 (N = 3).
- The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: LMG: 2; CECT: 1; KCTC: 1; DSM: 1; CGMCC: 1; JCM: 1.

- The genus name Ferdinandcohnia is correctly derived from the name of the 19th century German microbiologist Prof. Dr. Ferdinand Cohn. This derivation is explained in the etymology section of the genus description in the effective publication. However, the headers of the genus and species protologues list this name as Fredinandcohnia, which makes no sense. While LPSN would have preferred to treat Fredinandcohnia as a misprint of Ferdinandcohnia, the IJSEM notification list used the spelling Fredinandcohnia. Since notification lists are entitled to conduct orthographical corrections, Fredinandcohnia needs to be accepted for the time being. LPSN now lists Ferdinandcohnia as a misspelling (although it not actually is as misspelling) in order to provide a separate entry for this actually preferable name. Publication: Parte AC, Sarda Carbasse J, Meier-Kolthoff JP, Reimer LC, Goker M. List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) moves to the DSMZ. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:5607-5612.
- This name was not found in the expected IJSEM notification list.
