• Notes:
  • ⏰ According to Miyadoh et al. (1990), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Microbispora thermodiastatica Nonomura and Ohara 1969 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Miyadoh S, Amano S, Tohyama H, Shomura T. A taxonomic review of the genus Microbispora and a proposal to transfer two species to the genus Actinomadura and to combine ten species into Microbispora rosea.
