1887

Abstract

Based on a nomenclatural point of view, the name is associated, as required by the Bacteriological Code, with a defined , and . A search of the literature indicates that the name (Magnusson 1923) Goodfellow and Alderson 1977 has also been shown to be a of Magnusson 1923, (Morse 1912) Eberson 1918 and (Turfitt 1944) McClung 1974. Application of the rules of the Bacteriological Code together with the currently inferred taxonomic concept associated with the species bearing the name indicates that this is not the of this taxon and the use of that name in the context of a that includes the of the species is contrary to the Rules of the Code.
