Notes:
- 🧕 Zhang et al. (2019) assigned this genus to the family Rhodobacteraceae Garrity et al. 2006. Publication: Zhang YJ, Yu N, Zhang XY, Chen S. Pseudopuniceibacterium sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Rhodobacteraceae isolated from sediment. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2019; 69:2541-2546. 🇨🇳
- 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Pseudooceanicola Lai et al. 2015. Publication: Zhang DF, He W, Shao Z, Ahmed I, Zhang Y, Li WJ, Zhao Z. Phylotaxonomic assessment based on four core gene sets and proposal of a genus definition among the families Paracoccaceae and Roseobacteraceae. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2023; 73:6156. 🇨🇳
- 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Zhang et al. (2023). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
- ❗ Pseudopuniceibacterium 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: KCTC: 2; CCTCC: 1; CGMCC: 1.
