Synonyms:

Name	Kind
"Phytomonas fascians" Tilford 1936	homotypic synonym, not validly published, basonym of name in Approved Lists
Rhodococcus fascians (Tilford 1936) Goodfellow 1984	homotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP
Rhodococcus luteus (ex Söhngen 1913) Nesterenko et al. 1982	heterotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP

Notes:
- According to Klatte et al. (1994), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Rhodococcus luteus (ex Söhngen 1913) Nesterenko et al. 1982. Publication: Klatte S, Jahnke KD, Kroppenstedt RM, Rainey F, Stackebrandt E. Rhodococcus luteus is a later subjective synonym of Rhodococcus fascians. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1994; 44:627-630.
- Corynebacterium fascians 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 Corynebacterium.
- The full TRBA 466 classification is: risk group = 1, note = "p".
