Notes:
- ❗ Arthrobacter ilicis is the correct name instead if this species is regarded as a separate species (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another species whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate genus Arthrobacter.

- 🧍 Plant pathogenic according to Bull et al. (2007). Publication: Bull CT, De Boer SH, Denny TP, Firrao G, Fischer Le Saux M, Saddler GS, Scortichini M, Stead DE, Takikawa Y. Comprehensive list of names of plant pathogenic bacteria, 1980-2007. Journal of Plant Pathology 2010; 92:551-592.
- 🧍 Arthrobacter ilicis Collins et al. 1982 is not a homotypic synonym of Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961 (IJSEM 58, pp 1976-1978). Publication: Judicial Commission. Judicial Opinion No. 87. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2008; 58:1976-1978.
- 🧍 Consequently, (i) Arthrobacter ilicis is not a homotypic synonym of Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961 (Approved Lists 1980); (ii) reference to Mandel et al. 1961 in the author citation Arthrobacter ilicis (Mandel et al. 1961) Collins et al. 1982 is to be removed; (iii) Arthrobacter ilicis Collins et al. 1982 is a new species, not a new combination as cited in the Validation List no. 9; and (iv) any reference to Mandel et al. 1961 is not to be included in any future descriptions. — 🧍 Arthrobacter ilicis was first proposed as Arthrobacter ilicis (Mandel et al. 1961) Collins et al. 1982, comb. nov. [basonym Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961 (Approved Lists 1980)], type strain ATCC 14264 NCPPB 1228. Strain ATCC 14264 DSM 20138 NCPPB 1228 does not exhibit one of the original diagnostic features of Corynebacterium ilicis, namely pathogenesis on American holly (Ilex opaca), and cannot represent this species. Following a Request for an Opinion [1], the Judicial Commission [2] has therefore ruled (i) that ATCC 14264 DSM 20138 NCPPB 1228 cannot serve as the type of the species Corynebacterium ilicis, but may serve as the type of a different taxon, Arthrobacter ilicis Collins et al. 1982; and (ii) that the name Corynebacterium ilicis Mandel et al. 1961 (Approved Lists 1980) is represented by the type strain ICMP 2608 ICPB CI144.
