    Notes:
    • Emendation accompanied by a proposal regarding the synonymy of the species.

• Notes:
  • According to Nouioui et al. (2018), this species is a later heterotypic synonym of Tsukamurella pseudospumae Nam et al. 2004.

  • The e-mail address of the corresponding author given in the effective publication is not functional any more.
  • Tsukamurella sunchonensis 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 Tsukamurella.
