Notes:
- ⏲ According to Rong et al. (2009), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of "Streptotrix albidoflava" Rossi Doria 1891. Publication: Rong X, Guo Y, Huang Y. Proposal to reclassify the Streptomyces albidoflavus clade on the basis of multilocus sequence analysis and DNA-DNA hybridization, and taxonomic elucidation of Streptomyces griseus subsp. solvifaciens.
