Notes:
- According to Koch et al. (1995), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Nocardia calcarea Metcalfe and Brown 1957 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Koch C, Klatte S, Schumann P, Burghardt J, Kroppenstedt RM, Stackebrandt E. Transfer of Arthrobacter picolinophilus Tate and Ensign 1974 to Rhodococcus erythropolis. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1995; 45:576-577.
- According to Koch et al. (1995), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of "Mycobacterium erythropolis" Gray and Thornton 1928 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. Publication: Koch C, Klatte S, Schumann P, Burghardt J, Kroppenstedt RM, Stackebrandt E. Transfer of Arthrobacter picolinophilus Tate and Ensign 1974 to Rhodococcus erythropolis. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1995; 45:576-577.
- According to Koch et al. (1995), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Rhodococcus erythropolis (Gray and Thornton 1928) Goodfellow and Alderson 1979 (Approved Lists 1980) but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.

Bacteriol. 1995; 45:576-577.
- Arthrobacter picolinophilus is the correct name 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.
- The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 1, note = "+".
