Proper Form	Pseudopropionibacterium propionicum (Buchanan and Pine 1962) Scholz and Kilian 2016 pro synon. Arachnia propionica (Buchanan and Pine 1962) Pine and Georg 1969 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Tindall 2019
Nomenclatural History	The species Pseudopropionibacterium propionicum was originally described and validly published by Scholz and Kilian 2016. Scholz and Kilian formed this name in 2016 by placing the species Propionibacterium propionicum corrig. (Buchanan and Pine 1962) Charfreitag et al. 1988 into the genus Arachnia Pine and Georg 1969 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Tindall 2019. Tindall replaced this illegitimate name with Arachnia propionica (Buchanan and Pine 1962) Pine and Georg 1969 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Tindall 2019 in 2019. Tindall established Pseudopropionibacterium propionicum as a later homotypic synonym of Arachnia propionica (Buchanan and Pine 1962) Pine and Georg 1969 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Tindall 2019 in 2019. Tindall 2019 asserts that Arachnia propionica (Buchanan and Pine 1962) Pine and Georg 1969 (Approved Lists 1980) is an earlier homotypic synonym of Pseudopropionibacterium propionicum (Buchanan and Pine 1962) Scholz and Kilian 2016, and that therefore Pseudopropionibacterium propionicum contravenes Rule 54 and is illegitimate.
