- The type species of this genus has alternatively been placed in the genus Pseudomonas Migula 1894 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Holmes B, Owen RJ, Evans A, Malnick H, Willcox WR.

- This taxon name is occasionally misprinted in some sources as: "Phingomonas"; "Shingomonas"; "Spbingomonas"; "Sphigomonas"; "Sphillgomonas"; "Sphingoinonas"; "Sphingomoans"; "Sphingomoas"; "Sphingomollas"; "Sphingomomas"; "Sphingomonar"; "Sphingomonasare"; "Sphingornonas"; "Sphinogomonas"; "Sphinomonas"; "Sphlngomonas"; "Sphngomonas"; "Sphzngomonas"; "Spingomonas"; "Spliingomonas"; "Spnigomonas"; "Stringomonas".
- Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Manandhar et al. (2017), Asker et al. (2007), Denner et al. (2001), Lee et al. (2017), Zhu et al. (2015). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
- Comparative analysis of 16s rDNA sequences suggests that the genus Sphingomonas Yabuuchi et al. 1990 is synonymous with Rhizomonas van Bruggen et al. 1990. If so, Rhizomonas has nomenclatural priority [Rule 24b (2)]. However, the name Rhizomonas is not in accordance with the rules of the ICNP (see: Rhizomonas van Bruggen et al. 1990).
