  • According to Lanoot et al. (2005), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces minutiscleroticus (Thirumalachar 1965) Pridham 1970 (Approved Lists 1980) but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.

Reclassification of Streptomyces nigrifaciens as a later synonym of Streptomyces flavovirens; Streptomyces citreofluorescens, Streptomyces chrysomallus subsp. chrysomallus and Streptomyces fluorescens as later synonyms of Streptomyces anulatus; Streptomyces chibaensis as a later synonym of Streptomyces corchorusii; Streptomyces flaviscleroticus as a later synonym of Streptomyces minutiscleroticus; and Streptomyces lipmanii, Streptomyces griseus subsp. alpha, Streptomyces griseus subsp. cretosus and Streptomyces willmorei as later synonyms of Streptomyces microflavus.
