The name Frondicola Zhang et al. 2007 is illegitimate because it is a later homonym of a fungal genus name Frondicola Hyde 1992 [Frondicola K.D. Hyde, J. Linn. Soc., Bot. 110(2): 100 (1992)]. See Principle 2. Consequently, a new genus designation Frondihabitans Greene et al. 2009 has been proposed by Greene et al. 2009.
