Judicial Opinion 128 Open Access

Abstract

Judicial Opinion 128 addresses nomenclatural issues related to the names of classes validly published under the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes. It is confirmed that the common ending of some class names is not indicative of a joint taxonomic or phylogenetic placement; that the nomenclatural type of Edward and Freundt 1967 (Approved Lists 1980) is Freundt 1955 (Approved Lists 1980); and that the placement of a name on the list of rejected names does not imply that another name with the same spelling but a distinct rank is also placed on that list. The names at the rank of class (Gibbons and Murray 1978) Murray 1988, Murray 1988, Haeckel 1894 (Approved Lists 1980), Murray 1988, Philip 1956 (Approved Lists 1980), (ex Gibbons and Murray 1978) Murray 1988, Gibbons and Murray 1978 (Approved Lists 1980), Stackebrandt . 1988, Nägeli 1857 (Approved Lists 1980), Gibbons and Murray 1978 (Approved Lists 1980) are placed on the list of rejected names. For three common nominative singular suffixes of genus names their genitive singular and nominative plural forms are confirmed: (, ); (, ); and (, ). The class names Reysenbach 2002, Garrity and Holt 2002, Lee . 2011, Zhang . 2003, Choo . 2007 and Hedlund . 1998 are orthographically corrected to , , , , and , respectively.
