Abstract

In a recent publication that attempts to deal with the growing problem of taxa being added to the genus that are outside of (16S rRNA) group I, a solution is proposed that seeks to limit the genus Prazmowski 1880 (Approved Lists 1980) to a small number of species ‘related’ to the type species, Prazmowski 1880 (Approved Lists 1980). It has been proposed that this genus should also include members of the genus Goodsir 1842 (Approved Lists 1980), Lindner 1888 (Approved Lists 1980) and Goodsir 1842 (Approved Lists 1980), the latter being the nomenclatural type of the genus Goodsir 1842 (Approved Lists 1980). In making proposals to treat the genus name Goodsir 1842 (Approved Lists 1980) as a synonym of Prazmowski 1880 (Approved Lists 1980), reference is made to the wording of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria. However, while that wording is factually correct, other parts of the Code are relevant to this issue and clearly indicate that the proposed course of action is not sanctioned by texts that have not been directly made reference to. Rather than avoiding confusion it has been contributed to, and it is necessary to document where the problems lie.
