🧕 Wirth and Whitman (2018) assigned this genus to the family Rhodobacteraceae Garrity et al. 2006.
Publication:
Wirth JS, Whitman WB. Phylogenomic analyses of a clade within the roseobacter group suggest taxonomic reassignments of species of the genera Aestuariivita, Citreicella, Loktanella, Nautella, Pelagibaca, Ruegeria, Thalassobius, Thiobacimonas and Tropicibacter, and the proposal of six novel genera.

🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Salipiger Martínez-Cánovas et al. 2004.
Publication:

- ❗ Pelagibaca 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: JCM: 1; CGMCC: 1; DSM: 1; KCTC: 1.
