• Notes:
  • 🙋 This subspecies could be automatically created (rule 40d) by the valid publication of Luteovulum sphaeroides subsp. megalophilum (Arunasri et al. 2008) Suresh et al. 2020 but an explicit description was also provided. Publication: Suresh G, Lodha TD, Indu B, Sasikala C, Ramana CV.

  • ❗ Luteovulum sphaeroides subsp. sphaeroides is the correct name instead if this subspecies is regarded as a separate subspecies (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another subspecies whose name is validly published, legitimate and not rejected and has priority) within a separate species Luteovulum sphaeroides within a separate genus Luteovulum.
  • 🙅 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 subspecies. The name is on LoRN because of the recorded pathogenicity of other species in the genus.
