    <curatorial-note>TODO (garrity): RFO? Stackebrandt et al. (1982) formally unified this genus with Cellumonas by transferring the type species and establishing a heterotypic synonym with the remaining species. Stackebrandt et al. 2002 emends the former genus and type species and creates three novel species. This leaves the status and priority of this taxon in question.</curatorial-note>
