Bdellovibrionaceae fam. nov. 2005 2, Part C 2 1040 1041 Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology Springer New York 0387241450 This name was considered to be illegitimate until the order Bdellovibrionales Garrity et al. 2006 was emended by Hahn et al. 2017 to exclude the genus Bacterivorax Baer et al. 2000 (the type genus of its family). This name now adheres to the rules of the Code.
