• Notes:
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Staphylothennus"; "Staphylotherrnus".
  • ✏ The authority of the taxon name (Stetter and Fiala) deliberately differs from the authors of the publication (Fiala et al.).
  • 🎰 The BRCs most frequently used for deposits in this group are: JCM: 2; DSM: 2; ATCC: 1.
  • 🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "SPTM" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer. Publication: Pittman KF, Walczak CA, Lock CM.
