• Emendations:
  • Hyun et al. 2021 Hyun DW, Tak EJ, Kim PS, Bae JW. Description of Vagococcus coleopterorum sp. nov., isolated from the intestine of the diving beetle, Cybister lewisianus, and Vagococcus hydrophili sp. nov., isolated from the intestine of the dark diving beetle, Hydrophilus acuminatus, and emended description of the genus Vagococcus.

    Notes:
    • ⊕ Emendation accompanied by the proposal of 2 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.
    • 🧍 As of 2023-10-12 this emendation was not yet included in an IJSEM List of Changes in Taxonomic Opinion.
