    Notes:
    • ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 1 new species in the genus.
    • 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Using the term "phylogenetic data" (or equivalent) for sequence data is not advocated. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.

• Notes:
  • 🧕 Anandham et al. (2011) assigned this genus to the family Cytophagaceae Stanier 1940 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Anandham R, Kwon SW, Weon HY, Kim SJ, Kim YS, Gandhi PI, Kim YK, Jee HJ. Larkinella bovis sp. nov., isolated from fermented bovine products, and emended descriptions of the genus Larkinella and of Larkinella insperata Vancanneyt et al. 2006.
