Emendations:
- Labeda et al. 2001 Labeda DP, Hatano K, Kroppenstedt RM, Tamura T. Revival of the genus Lentzea and proposal for Lechevalieria gen. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2001; 51:1045-1050. Anonymous. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 51, part 3 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2001; 51:1231-1233.
  Notes:
  - Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 4 new species in the genus.
  - However, according to Rules 28a and 33c, Lentzea is not a revived name as proposed by Labeda et al. 2001 [2].
  - Lee et al. 2000 [1] suggested that Lentzea albidocapillata Yassin et al. 1995, the type species of the genus Lentzea, be transferred to the genus Saccharothrix Labeda et al. 1984, thus effectively abolishing this genus under the Rule 37a. Phylogenetic and chemotaxonomic data do not support this proposal and, according to Labeda et al. 2001 [2], Lentzea is considered to be the current correct name.
