Proper Form	Clostridium termitidis Hethener et al. 1992
Nomenclatural History	The species Clostridium termitidis was originally described by Hethener et al. 1992. This name became validly published when it appeared on Validation List No. 41 in 1992. In 2013, Yutin and Galperin established Clostridium termitidis as the basonym of Ruminiclostridium termitidis (Hethener et al. 1992) Yutin and Galperin 2013 . In 2018, Zhang et al. reduced this species to the rank of subspecies to form Ruminiclostridium cellobioparum termitidis (Hethener et al. 1992) Zhang et al. 2018 .
