Notes:
- ❗ Nocardiopsis longispora 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 Nocardiopsis.
- ✏ The authority of the taxon name (Preobrazhenskaya and Sveshnikova) deliberately differs from the authors of the publication (Preobrazhenskaya et al.).
