The attention of the Judicial Commission was drawn to issues relating to the use of names at the rank of class, subclass and order and the nomenclatural type of names at the rank of class and subclass that were not covered by Opinion 79. The Judicial Commission ruled that names at the rank of class and order proposed by Cavalier-Smith (Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol., 52, 7–76, 2002) are to be placed on the List of Rejected Names (nomina rejicienda) and the use of names proposed in that publication above the rank of class is to be actively discouraged. In addition a list of names at the rank of class, subclass and order is given where the nomenclatural type, description or circumscription is unclear or where they otherwise appear to be not in accordance with the Rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria.

The publication of Opinion 83, which dealt with the valid publication of the subgenus names Moraxella and Branhamella (in the genus Moraxella ), has highlighted a problem relating to the absence of descriptions associated with these names at the time they were effectively published. This calls into question whether the ruling outlined in Opinion 83, that these names should have qualified for inclusion on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names, and their inclusion on Validation List 15 are not in accordance with Rule 27 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria governing the valid publication of a name. The subgenus names Moraxella and Branhamella (in the genus Moraxella ) are not to be considered to be included on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names, nor are they to be considered to be validly published by inclusion on Validation List 15.

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.

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.

According to Rule 37a of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes, the name of a taxon must be changed if the nomenclatural type of the taxon is excluded. Recently, in a transfer of actinobacterial species, three species – Friedmanniella endophytica Tuo et al. 2016, Lysinimicrobium sediminis Hamada et al. 2017 and Lechevalieria rhizosphaerae Zhao et al. 2017 – were not transferred with their type species. Therefore, to resolve these nomenclatural issues, Microlunatus kandeliicorticis nom. nov., Demequina sediminis comb. nov. and Lentzea rhizosphaerae comb. nov. are proposed, respectively.
