Notes:

• 1) 'Nom. approb.' (= nomen approbatum, = approved name) refers to a name which is included in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names.
• 2) This taxonomic name has been effectively published but not validly published under the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (Bacteriological Code).
