  • 🧍 Lanoot et al. are of the opinion that Streptomyces chrysomallus subsp. chrysomallus (Lindenbein 1952) Frommer 1959 (Approved Lists 1980) is a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces anulatus (Beijerinck 1912) Waksman 1953 (Approved Lists 1980). The type of the subspecies Streptomyces chrysomallus subsp. chrysomallus is automatically the type of Streptomyces chrysomallus Lindenbein 1952 (Approved Lists 1980). So, in expressing that opinion Lanoot et al. have placed the type of Streptomyces chrysomallus in a different species. In this case Rule 37a (1) applies and the authors should have dealt with the nomenclature and taxonomic position of Streptomyces chrysomallus subsp. fumigatus Frommer 1959 (Approved Lists 1980). Authors who follow the proposal to treat the types of Streptomyces anulatus and Streptomyces chrysomallus (including the subspecies Streptomyces chrysomallus subsp. chrysomallus) as synonyms are not at liberty to use the name Streptomyces chrysomallus subsp. fumigatus and must make a taxonomic proposal for placing this subspecies in another species or subspecies. Publication: Lanoot B, Vancanneyt M, Van Schoor A, Liu Z, Swings J. Reclassification of Streptomyces nigrifaciens as a later synonym of Streptomyces flavovirens; Streptomyces citreofluorescens, Streptomyces chrysomallus subsp. chrysomallus and Streptomyces fluorescens as later synonyms of Streptomyces anulatus; Streptomyces chibaensis as a later synonym of Streptomyces corchorusii; Streptomyces flaviscleroticus as a later synonym of Streptomyces minutiscleroticus; and Streptomyces lipmanii, Streptomyces griseus subsp. alpha, Streptomyces griseus subsp. cretosus and Streptomyces willmorei as later synonyms of Streptomyces microflavus.
