• Notes:
  • 🥇 Nomenclatural type of the family Jonesiaceae Stackebrandt et al. 1997. Publication: Stackebrandt E, Rainey FA, Ward-Rainey NL. Proposal for a new hierarchic classification system, Actinobacteria classis nov. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1997; 47:479-491. 🇩🇪
  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Listeria Pirie 1940 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Prévot AR. Traité de Systématique Bactérienne, vol. 2. Dunod, Paris, 1961.
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Jonesiu"; "Joriesia".
  • ✏ The authority of the taxon name (Rocourt and Stackebrandt) deliberately differs from the authors of the publication (Rocourt et al.).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 3; JCM: 2; CCTCC: 1; NBRC: 1; CIP: 1; NCTC: 1; IFO: 1; ATCC: 1; CCUG: 1; CGMCC: 1.
  • 😷 The risk group for Canada has been imported on 2024-02-27. The full classification is: risk group = 2, note = "Animal classification RG: 1 - Security sensitive biological agent: No - Terrestrial animal pathogen under Canadian Food Inspection Agency authority: No - Containment level: Containment Level 2". — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
  • 💥 This name is a homonym of Jonesia Roxb. (botanical); Jonesia Bizot, R.B. Pierrot and Pócs (botanical); Jonesia Brady, 1866 (zoological) [from Catalogue of Life].
  • 🧍 According to Shipunov (2011), this name is a hemihomonym. See Jonesia Roxb. 1795 (Plantae); Bizot, R.B. Pierrot and Pócs 1974 (Plantae); Brady, 1866 (Animalia). Publication: Shipunov A. The problem of hemihomonyms and the on-line hemihomonyms database (HHDB). Bionomina 2011; 4:65-72.
  • 🧍 Jonesia Rocourt and Stackebrandt 1987 is a later homonym of a genus name with standing in the botanical (plant) nomenclature: Jonesia Roxb. 1795. Principle 2 of the 2008 Code is not retroactive, so the name does not contravene the Code because of this homonymy. — Crook M. Personal communication, 2021-08-19.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "JONS" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM. Codes and abbreviations for approved of effectively published names of genera of bacteria published from January 1980 to December 1990. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1991; 41:571-579.
