Synonyms:

Name	Kind
"Candidatus Mycoplasma haemosuis" Neimark et al. 2001	homotypic synonym, not validly published
Mycoplasma suis corrig. (Splitter 1950) Neimark et al. 2002	orthographically corrected name, validly published
Eperythrozoon suis Splitter 1950 (Approved Lists 1980)	homotypic synonym, validly published

Notes:
- In 2001, Neimark et al. proposed the transfer of Eperythrozoon suis to the genus Mycoplasma with the Candidatus status: "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemosuis" Neimark et al. 2001. The Candidatus designation is for new, incompletely described taxa, in order to give them a provisional status; changing validly published names to Candidatus would lose their standing in nomenclature. So, Neimark et al. revise "Candidatus Mycoplasma haemosuis" to Mycoplasma haemosuis nom. nov. (sic).
- In violation of Rules 34a, 41a and 51b (2), the specific epithet suis is changed to haemosuis in the absence of the same epithet used for a different species in the genus Mycoplasma Nowak 1929. Consequently, Mycoplasma haemosuis (Splitter 1950) Neimark et al. 2002 is not in accordance with the rules of the ICNP and the correct name should be Mycoplasma suis (Splitter 1950) Neimark et al. 2002, comb. nov.
