The results indicated the possible existence of a new species and demonstrated an unexpectedly close similarity between T. neapolitanus and T. thio-oxidans. A number of diagnostic tests have been selected from those used for the numerical analysis. A brief description of the other important features of each species recognized is also given.", }
