Notes:
- ⏲ According to Kasai et al. (2000), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Micromonospora echinospora Luedemann and Brodsky 1964 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Kasai H, Tamura T, Harayama S. Intrageneric relationships among Micromonospora species deduced from gyrB-based phylogeny and DNA relatedness.

- ❗ Micromonospora rhodorangea is the correct name instead 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 Micromonospora.
