According to Van den Mooter and Swings (1990), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Pseudomonasmaltophilia (ex Hugh and Ryschenkow 1961) Hugh 1981 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.Publication:

According to Van den Mooter and Swings (1990), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Stenotrophomonasmaltophilia (Hugh 1981) Palleroni and Bradbury 1993 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.Publication:
