Falsibacillus pallidus (Zhou et al. 2008) Zhou et al. 2009
Nomenclatural History
The species Falsibacillus pallidus was originally described and validly published by Zhou et al. 2009. This name replaces the name Zhou et al. 2008 non Bacillus pallidus Scholz et al. 1988 .

Falsibacillus pallidus replaces the illegitimate name Bacillus pallidus (Zhou et al. 2008). Bacillus pallidus Zhou et al. 2008 is illegitimate, in accordance with rule 53 of the Bacteriological Code, because it is a later homonym of Bacillus pallidus Scholz et al. 1988. Zhou et al. 2009 "temporarily" describe Falsibacillus pallidus as a new combination, but recognize the fact that this designation is controversial. Falsibacillus pallidus can not be a new combination, because Bacillus pallidus Zhou et al. 2008 has no standing in nomenclature and thus can not serve as the basonym for Falsibacillus palidus. The name Falsibacillus pallidus is acceptable under the code as a new name; Falsibacillus pallidus nom. nov.
