    Notes:
    • ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 3 new species in the genus.
    • 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details.

• Notes:
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Sinomanas"; "Spinomonas".
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: CCTCC: 9; KCTC: 8; JCM: 8; DSM: 8; NBRC: 4; ATCC: 2; LMG: 2; CGMCC: 2; IAM: 2; GDMCC: 1.
