  • 🚋 The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Reichenbachia Nedashkovskaya et al. 2003. Publication: Nedashkovskaya OI, Suzuki M, Vysotskii MV, Mikhailov VV.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Reinchenbachiella".
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: JCM: 5; KCTC: 4; DSM: 2; NBRC: 1; KACC: 1; MCCC: 1; IFO: 1; KMM: 1.
  • 🧍 Replacement of the illegitimate name Reichenbachia Nedashkovskaya et al. 2003, which is illegitimate because of precedence of Reichenbachia Sprengel 1823 (a plant belonging to the family Nyctaginaceae) and a later homonym of Reichenbachia Leach 1826 (an insect belonging to the family Staphylinidae). [Principle 2, Rule 51b(4)]. Consequently, a new genus designation Reichenbachiella has been proposed by Nedashkovskaya et al. 2005. Original article in IJSEM Online.
