- ❗ Fuscovulum 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: 2; KCTC: 1; NCIMB: 1; NBRC: 1; IFO: 1; MCCC: 1; CGMCC: 1; ATCC: 1; LMG: 1; CIP: 1.

🧍 Instead of proposing a new genus, Rhodobacter blasticus could as well be included in Tabrizicola, which was not considered by the authors but formed the sister group of Rhodobacter blasticus in the analysis of Hördt et al. (2020).
