• Notes:
  • This subspecies could be automatically created (rule 40d) by the valid publication of Streptomyces cavourensis subsp. washingtonensis Skarbek and Brady 1978 (Approved Lists 1980) but an explicit description was also provided. Publication: Skarbek JD, Brady LR. Streptomyces cavourensis sp. nov. (nom. rev.) and Streptomyces cavourensis subsp. washingtonensis subsp. nov., a chromomycin-producing sub-species. International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology 1978; 28:45-53.
  • If an author accepts that Streptomyces cavourensis subsp. washingtonensis Skarbek and Brady 1978 is a later heterotypic synonym of Streptomyces griseus (Krainsky 1914) Waksman and Henrici 1948 (Approved Lists 1980), then Streptomyces cavourensis subsp. cavourensis Skarbek and Brady 1978 (Approved Lists 1980) should thereafter be designated simply as Streptomyces cavourensis Skarbek and Brady 1978 (Approved Lists 1980).
