Correct name: Actinomadura viridis (Nonomura and Ohara 1971) Miyadoh et al. 1989

Risk group: 1

• Synonyms:

  • Name	Kind
    Actinomadura viridis (Nonomura and Ohara 1971) Miyadoh et al. 1989	homotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP
    Actinomadura malachitica Lavrova et al. 1972 (Approved Lists 1980)	heterotypic synonym, validly published under the ICNP

• Notes:
  • According to Miyadoh et al. (1989), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Actinomadura malachitica Lavrova et al. 1972 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Miyadoh S, Anzai H, Amano S, Shomura T. Actinomadura malachitica and Microtetraspora viridis are synonyms and should be transferred as Actinomadura viridis comb. nov. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1989; 39:152-158.
  • Microtetraspora viridis 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 Microtetraspora.
