• Emendations:
  • Zhang et al. 1998 Zhang Z, Wang Y, Ruan J. Reclassification of Thermomonospora and Microtetraspora. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1998; 48:411-422. Anonymous. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 48, part 2 of the IJSB. Int J Syst Bacteriol 1998; 48:633-634.
    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. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.

• Notes:
  • Goodfellow and Williams (1983) assigned this genus to the uncategorized "Maduromycetes" Goodfellow and Williams 1983. Publication: Goodfellow M, Williams ST. Ecology of Actinomycetes. Ann. Rev. Microbiol. 1983; 37:189-216.
  • Recommended reviewers for taxonomic proposals in this group are the corresponding authors of Zhao et al. (2020).
