Cells were strictly aerobic rods and were motile with 1–3 subpolar flagella. 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that strain KIS13-15T belonged to the order Xanthomonadales of the class Gammaproteobacteria and was closely related to Nevskia soli GR15-1T (97.9 % 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity) and Nevskia ramosa Soe1T (96.8 %). Strain KIS13-15T exhibited 38 and 29 % DNA–DNA relatedness with N. soli KACC 11703T and N. ramosa DSM 11499T, respectively. The major fatty acids (>10 % of the total) were C18 : 1ω7c (40.6 %) and C16 : 0 (12.4 %). The major isoprenoid quinone was ubiquinone 8. DNA G+C content was 67.3 mol%. The phenotypic characterization combined with 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis and DNA–DNA hybridization clearly classified strain KIS13-15T in a novel species of the genus Nevskia, for which the name Nevskia terrae sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is KIS13-15T ( = KACC 12736T  = JCM 15425T). %U https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/ijs.0.021238-0
