• Notes:
  • Nomenclatural type of the uncategorized "Micropolysporas" Goodfellow and Williams 1983. Publication: Goodfellow M, Williams ST. Ecology of Actinomycetes. Ann. Rev. Microbiol. 1983; 37:189-216.
  • Goodfellow and Williams (1983) assigned this genus to the uncategorized "Micropolysporas" Goodfellow and Williams 1983. Publication: Goodfellow M, Williams ST. Ecology of Actinomycetes. Ann. Rev. Microbiol. 1983; 37:189-216.
  • For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Nocardia Trevisan 1889 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Goodfellow M, Pirouz T. Numerical classification of sporoactinomycetes containing meso-diaminopimelic acid in the cell wall. J Gen Microbiol 1982; 128:503-527.
  • This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Mycropolyspora".
  • Micropolyspora is the correct name if this genus is regarded as a separate genus (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another genus whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority).
  • This name was subject to a Request for an Opinion. Publication: A. J. McCarthy TC, J. Lacey MG.
