Proper Form	Tetragenococcus halophilus (Mees 1934) Collins et al. 1993
Nomenclatural History	The species Tetragenococcus halophilus was originally described by Collins et al. 1990. This name became validly published when it appeared on Validation List No. 44 in 1993. Collins et al. formed this name in 1990 by placing the species Pediococcus halophilus Mees 1934 (Approved Lists 1980) into the genus Tetragenococcus Collins et al. 1993. In 2012, Justé et al. reduced this species to the rank of subspecies to form Tetragenococcus halophilus halophilus (Mees 1934) Justé et al. 2012 .
