Notes:
- According to Genersch et al. (2006), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Bacillus larvae White 1906 (Approved Lists 1980).

- Bacillus pulvifaciens 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 Bacillus.
- A polyphasic taxonomic study of the two subspecies of Paenibacillus larvae, Paenibacillus larvae subsp. larvae and Paenibacillus larvae subsp. pulvifaciens, supported the reclassification of both subspecies into one species, Paenibacillus larvae, without subspecies classification.
