- 😩 Deposit incorrectly indicated in some sources as representing the type strain of this taxon: IFO 13937.
- 😡 This taxon name is a homonym of "Sphingomonas aeria" Park et al. 2015.
- ❗ Sphingomonas aeria 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 Sphingomonas.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 3 times in PubMed until 2025-06-04.
- 🙅 This name is on the List of Recommended Names for bacteria of medical importance (LoRN) as a synonym of the name to be applied to this species. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded risk group of the genus.
