Notes:
- ⏲ According to Komaki (2021), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces murinus Frommer 1959 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Komaki H. Reclassification of Streptomyces costaricanus and Streptomyces phaeogriseichromatogenes as later heterotypic synonyms of Streptomyces murinus. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2021; 71:4638. 🇯🇵
- 🏢 Synonymy of this taxon was mentioned in an IJSEM list. Publication: Oren A, Garrity GM. Notification list. Notification that new names and new combinations have appeared in volume 71, part 2 of the IJSEM. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2021; 71:4766.
- ❗ Streptomyces phaeogriseichromatogenes 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 Streptomyces.
- 😷 The risk group for Germany has been imported on 2023-10-29. The full classification is: risk group = 1. — If in doubt, use the risk group given in the regulations for your country and, if these are not available, use the risk group given in the catalogue of the culture collection from which you have obtained or intend to obtain the strain.
- 🎓 Name mentioned 3 times in PubMed until 2026-06-11.
- 🪓 Organisms assigned to this species have previously been classified as Streptomyces violaceusniger corrig. (Waksman and Curtis 1916) Pridham et al. 1958 (Approved Lists 1980).

- 🙅 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.
- 🧍 The distinct name Streptomyces phaeoluteichromatogenes from the same publication has a similar spelling. Publication: Angell RC, Freund GE, Willett P. Automatic spelling correction using a trigram similarity measure. Information Processing and Management 1983; 19:255-261.
