Proper Form

Nomenclatural History

The species Sinomonas albida was originally described by Zhou et al. 2012. Zhou et al. formed this name in 2012 by placing the species Arthrobacter albidus Ding et al. 2009 into the genus Sinomonas Zhou et al. 2009 emend. Zhou et al. 2012.

In the April 2012 issue of the IJSEM, Zhou et al. propose the two following new combinations: Sinomonas echigonensis (Ding et al. 2009) Zhou et al. 2012 (basonym Arthrobacter echigonensis Ding et al. 2009) and Sinomonas albida (Ding et al. 2009) Zhou et al. 2012 (basonym Arthrobacter albidus Ding et al. 2009). The type strains are cited as LC10T(=IAM 15385T = CCTCC AB206017T) and LC13T(= IAM 15386 T=CCTCC AB 206018T), respectively. The IAM numbers cited in the paper by Zhou et al. 2012 are associated with a collection that had ceased to operate prior to publication of the paper. The JCM has accessioned many of the IAM strains. IAM 15385 was accessioned as JCM 21829 and IAM 15386 was accessioned as JCM 21830. However, neither strains IAM 15385 and IAM 15386 nor strains JCM 21829 and JCM 21830 were available at the time of publication. So, according to Rule 30(3b), the names Sinomonas echigonensis and Sinomonas albida are not validly published, and they are not cited in the Notification List in volume 62, part 4, of the IJSEM
