Emendations:
- Moore et al. 1994 Moore LV, Johnson JL, Moore WE. Descriptions of Prevotella tannerae sp. nov. and Prevotella enoeca sp. nov. from the human gingival crevice and emendation of the description of Prevotella zoogleoformans.

  Notes:
  - Prevotella zoogleoformans (Weinberg et al. 1937) Shah and Collins 1990 emend. Moore et al. 1994 is illegitimate because it is a homotypic synonym of a type species with a genus name that has priority.
  - The Subcommittee on the taxonomy of Gram-negative anaerobic rods recommends that Prevotella zoogleoformans (Weinberg et al. 1937) Shah and Collins 1990 be designated Bacteroides zoogleoformans (Weinberg et al. 1937) Cato et al. 1982.
