Notes:

• 1) This taxonomic name has been effectively published but not validly published under the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria (Bacteriological Code).
• 2) 'Orth. var.' (= orthographic variant) refers to a name not following standard rules of orthography, such as gender disagreement between genus and species, either when originally published or mistakenly corrected in later publications; includes names which are "incorrect original spellings" and "incorrect subsequent spellings" in zoological parlance.
• 3) 'Nom. approb.' (= nomen approbatum, = approved name) refers to a name which is included in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names.
