Notes:
-
According to Riegel et al. (1994), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Rhodococcus chubuensis Tsukamura 1983 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.

Riegel P, Kamne-Fotso MV, De Briel D, Prévost G, Jehl F, Piémont Y, Monteil H. Rhodococcus chubuensis Tsukamura 1982 is a later subjective synonym of Gordona sputi (Tsukamura 1978) Stackebrandt 1989 comb. nov. Int. J. Syst. Bacteriol. 1994; 44:764-768.

According to Zakrzewska-Czerwinska et al. (1988), this species is an earlier heterotypic synonym of Rhodococcus obuensis Tsukamura 1983 but this is in conflict with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.

- Rhodococcus sputi 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 Rhodococcus.
-
The approved Lists of Bacterial Names and the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names (Amended Edition) did not include the name Rhodococcus sputi which was published by Tsukamura (1978) in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology [1]. In view of the fact that the name was not included in the Approved Lists, Tsukamura and Yano revived the name Rhodococcus sputi: Rhocococcus sputi (ex Tsukamura 1978) Tsukamura and Yano 1985. However, according to Rule 24a, Note 1, the name Rhodococcus sputi Tsukamura 1978 is to be treated as being included in the Approved Lists and this name has priority over Rhodococcus sputi (ex Tsukamura 1978) Tsukamura and Yano 1985 [2].
