Notes:
- 🧕 Miliotis et al. (2024) assigned this genus to the family Amphibacillaceae Chuvochina et al. 2024. Publication: Miliotis G, Sengupta P, Hameed A, Chuvochina M, McDonagh F, Simpson AC, Parker CW, Singh NK, Rekha PD, Morris D, et al.

- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Virgibacillus Heyndrickx et al. 1998. Publication: Kampfer P, Arun AB, Busse HJ, Langer S, Young CC, Chen WM, Syed AA, Rekha PD. Virgibacillus soli sp. nov., isolated from mountain soil. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2011; 61:275-280. 🇩🇪
- 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Paraceracibacillus".
- ❗ Paracerasibacillus 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 BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: CCM: 1; LMG: 1; DSM: 1.
