  • Later homonym of the bird genus Goodfellowia Hartert 1903. Publication: Labeda DP, Kroppenstedt RM, Euzeby JP, Tindall BJ. Proposal of Goodfellowiella gen. nov. to replace the illegitimate genus name Goodfellowia Labeda and Kroppenstedt 2006. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2008; 58:1047-1048.
  • The name Goodfellowia Labeda and Kroppenstedt 2006 is illegitimate because it is a later homonym of Goodfellowia Hartert 1903 (Animalia, Chordata, Aves, Passeriformes, Sturnidae). See Principle 2. Consequently, a new genus designation Goodfellowiella Labeda et al. 2008 has been proposed by Labeda et al. 2008. Publication: Labeda DP, Kroppenstedt RM, Euzeby JP, Tindall BJ. Proposal of Goodfellowiella gen. nov. to replace the illegitimate genus name Goodfellowia Labeda and Kroppenstedt 2006. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2008; 58:1047-1048.
