    • 📧 The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the associated publication is not functional any more.
    • ⊕ 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.

    • 😢 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.
