• Notes:
  • Nomenclatural type of the genus Xanthovirga Goldberg et al. 2020. Publication: Goldberg SR, Correa H, Haltli BA, Kerr RG. Fulvivirga aurantia sp. nov. and Xanthovirga aplysinae gen. nov., sp. nov., marine bacteria isolated from the sponge Aplysina fistularis, and emended description of the genus Fulvivirga. Int J Syst Evol Microbiol 2020; 70:2766-2781.
  • The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. The expression "monophyletic clade" is a pleonasm. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M.
