• Notes:
  • 🧕 Zhang et al. (2014) assigned this genus to the family Flavobacteriaceae Reichenbach 1992. Publication: Zhang RG, Tan X, Zhao XM, Deng J, Lv J. Moheibacter sediminis gen. nov., sp. nov., a member of the family Flavobacteriaceae isolated from sediment, and emended descriptions of Empedobacter brevis, Wautersiella falsenii and Weeksella virosa. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:1481-1487.
  • 🚂 For the type species of this genus another name is in use, which is affiliated with the genus Empedobacter (ex Prévot 1961) Vandamme et al. 1994. Publication: Zhang RG, Tan X, Liang Y, Meng TY, Liang HZ, Lv J. Description of Chishuiella changwenlii gen. nov., sp. nov., isolated from freshwater, and transfer of Wautersiella falsenii to the genus Empedobacter as Empedobacter falsenii comb. nov. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2014; 64:2723-2728.
  • 💁 Taxonomists who have recently focused on this group are the corresponding authors of Zhang et al. (2014). Editors in search of reviewers are advised to consider additional criteria such as whether a taxon is covered by one of the ICSP subcommittees.
  • ❗ Wautersiella 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).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: CCUG: 1; CIP: 1.
