  • 🚋 The type genus of this family has alternatively been placed in the family Nocardiopsidaceae corrig. Rainey et al. 1996.

  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Nocardiomaceae"; "Nocardiopsacaceae"; "Nocardiopsacear"; "Nocurdiopsaceue"; "Nowrdiopsaceae".
  • 😢 The terminology used by the authors is in line with many other taxonomic studies and does not negatively affect their main results; some improvements may nevertheless be possible. Contrasting the term "chemotaxonomic" with "phenotypic" is not recommended. The usage of the term "coherent taxon" (or equivalent) is cautioned against. Whether taxa can have "members" is debatable. See the LPSN phylogeny page for details. Publication: Göker M. What can genome analysis offer for bacteria?

  • 🧍 Irregularly formed name or regularly formed name, depending on the interpretation. The Greek word opsis has opseôs as genitive, Latin opsis, yielding the stem ops-. However, family names derived from -opsis that were validly published under the ICN usually end in -opsidaceae; see the discussion in Silva (1980). If one assumes that this does not affect the ICNP, or if one prefers the classical rules over the botanical tradition, the name is regularly formed when ending in -opsaceae. See also Rule 62b.
