Recommended standards for the description of new species of the anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria are proposed in accordance with Recommendation 30b of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria. These standards include information on the natural habitat, ecology and phenotypic properties including morphology, physiology and pigments and on genetic information and nucleic acid data. The recommended standards were supported by the Subcommittee on the taxonomy of phototrophic bacteria of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes. They are considered as guidelines for authors to prepare descriptions of new species.

In the opinion of the authors, the genus name Rhodoligotrophos was formed in violation of Principle 3 and Rule 10a of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes which requires that genus names are to be treated as Latin substantives. We therefore propose renaming the genus Rhodoligotrophos as Rhodoligotrophus. A Request for an Opinion is submitted to the Judicial Commission of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes regarding this proposed name change.

Carex Linnaeus (1753: 972) is one of the largest genera of angiosperms with more than 2000 species in the world (Reznicek 1990, Goetghebeur 1998). In India, Karthikeyan et al. (1989) and Prasad & Singh (2002) reported 160 species, 1 subspecies and 29 varieties. Recently, Viji et al. (2016) recorded a new species from Tamil Nadu which is new to the Indian flora, namely Carex nilagirica Viji, Pandur., Deepu & G.C. Tucker (2016: 1). However, there is another Carex nilagirica published by Hochst ex Steudel (1855: 207), which is currently treated as a heterotypic synonym of Carex filicina Nees (1834: 123). As a result, and under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants (McNeill et al. 2012), the name Carex nilagirica Viji, Pandur., Deepu & G.C. Tucker is illegitimate, as it is a later homonym of Carex nilagirica Hochst ex. Steud. (Art. 53.1). Therefore, a new name Carex panduranganii is proposed as a replacement name for Carex nilagirica Viji, Pandur., Deepu & G.C. Tucker.

scholarly journals Proposals that the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes establish a public database of validly published names and that the Bacteriological Code be amended to change the prescription for citation of validly published names

It is proposed that the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes formally maintain a readily accessible database of validly published names and that Rule 33b of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria be revised to allow a new, abbreviated, format as the sole method by which authors indicate validation of previously published names.
