  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Rothia Georg and Brown 1967 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Collins MD, Hutson RA, Baverud V, Falsen E.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Stomalococcus"; "Stomatoccus"; "Stomnlococcus"; "Stomotococcus"; "Stornatococcus".
  • ❗ Stomatococcus 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).
