  • Notes:
    • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Pararhizobium Mousavi et al. 2016. Publication: Shen X, Li Y, Zhao Z, Han YF, Zhang WW, Yu XY, Zhang CY, Sun C, Wu M. Polyphasic taxonomic characterisation of a novel strain as Pararhizobium haloflavum sp. nov., isolated from soil samples near a sewage treatment tank. Antonie Van Leeuwenhoek 2018; 111:485-491. 🇨🇳
    • ❗ Neopararhizobium is the correct name instead 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).
    • 🧬 The phylogenomic assignment score of this taxon is 0.04186 (N = 9).
    • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: MCCC: 1; KCTC: 1.
