In this paper we revive this name; it is used for the same taxon to which it was originally applied by Burkholder. A description of the species and a comparison with other species of Pseudomonas ribonucleic acid homology group II are included. Since no type strain was chosen by Burkholder, strain ATCC 25416 is designated the type, following the suggestion of Ballard et al. %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-31-4-479
