Notes:
- ⏲ According to Lanoot et al. (2004), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces phaeopurpureus Shinobu 1957 (Approved Lists 1980). Publication: Lanoot B, Vancanneyt M, Dawyndt P, Cnockaert M, Zhang J, Huang Y, Liu Z, Swings J. BOX-pCR fingerprinting as a powerful tool to reveal synonymous names in the genus Streptomyces. Emended descriptions are proposed for the species Streptomyces cinereorectus, S. fradiae, S. tricolor, S. colombiensis, S. filamentosus, S. vinaceus and S. phaeopurpureus. Syst Appl Microbiol 2004; 27:84-92. 🇧🇪
- ❗ Streptomyces phaeoviridis 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.
