🧕 Li et al. (2008) assigned this genus to the family "Sporolactobacillaceae".Publication:
Li WJ, Zhi XY, Euzeby JP. Proposal of Yaniellaceae fam. nov., Yaniella gen. nov. and Sinobaca gen. nov. as replacements for the illegitimate prokaryotic names Yaniaceae Li et al. 2005, Yania Li et al. 2004, emend Li et al. 2005, and Sinococcus Li et al. 2006, respectively. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2008; 58:525-527.

💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Li et al. (2008). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: DSM: 1; KCTC: 1.
🧍 Later homonym of an insect genus.Publication:
Oren A. On names of genera of prokaryotes that are later homonyms of generic names with standing in the zoological or the botanical nomenclature. Proposal of Neomegalonema gen. nov. and Neomegalonema perideroedes comb. nov. as replacements for the prokaryotic generic name Meganema and the species name Meganema perideroedes. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2017; 67:4276-4278.
🧍 The name Sinococcus Li et al. 2006 is illegitimate because it is a later homonym of Sinococcus Wu and Zheng, 2000 (Insecta: Hemiptera: Sternorrhyncha: Coccoidea: Pseudococcidae). See Principle 2. Consequently, a new genus designation Sinobaca Li et al. 2008 has been proposed by Li et al. 2008.Publication:
