🧍 Verminephrobacter Pinel et al. 2008 and Verminephrobacter eiseniae Pinel et al. 2008, appear in the September 2008 issue of the IJSEM. However, these names were not validly published because the strain DSM 19286, cited as the type strain of Verminephrobacter eiseniae, is the type strain of Lysobacter capsici [see Rules 27 and 30]. In order to validly publish these names, Verminephrobacter Pinel et al. 2012 and Verminephrobacter eiseniae Pinel et al. 2012, are cited on Validation List 148.
