  Notes:
  - ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 4 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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.

Notes:
- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Limmnobaculum".
- 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: GDMCC: 3; JCM: 3; CGMCC: 2; NBRC: 2; KACC: 2; MCCC: 1.
