We here present annotated lists of names of Candidatus taxa of prokaryotes with ranks between subspecies and class, proposed between the mid-1990s, when the provisional status of Candidatus taxa was first established, and the end of 2018. Where necessary, corrected names are proposed that comply with the current provisions of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes and its Orthography appendix. These lists, as well as updated lists of newly published names of Candidatus taxa with additions and corrections to the current lists to be published periodically in the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, may serve as the basis for the valid publication of the Candidatus names if and when the current proposals to expand the type material for naming of prokaryotes to also include gene sequences of yet-uncultivated taxa is accepted by the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes.

The International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes has held an electronic discussion on proposals to amend the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes in order to allow the use of gene sequence data as type. The scientific discussion is reported. Subsequently members of the International Committee on Systematics of Prokaryotes voted on these proposals, which were rejected.

The International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM) will move to ‘true continuous publication’ during the first months of 2021 to modernize the workflow and align it with the current online-only nature of the journal. In the new format, articles will be cited using an article number rather than page numbering. The article number will be the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) suffix, i.e., the last six digits of the DOI. Benefits of the new system include streamlining in-house processes, hence, reducing time and costs, and speeding up the publication time of the final ‘Version of Record’. Because of the new format of the IJSEM, it is necessary to emend Rule 24b (2) and Note 1 paragraph 3 of Rule 27 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) to regulate matters of priority for papers published after January 2021. We also propose adding another example to Note 2 of Rule 33b to clarify how nomenclatural authorities of names published in the IJSEM from 2021 onward must be cited.

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.

In a recent paper, the name Ximenesia encelioides was lectotypified on material conserved at MA. However, the selected “lectotype” includes several fragments collected at three different times, and that herbarium sheet is therefore to be considered to contain three different specimens as defined in Art. 8.2 of the International Code of Nomenclature of algae, fungi and plants. This fact makes that “lectotype” invalid since contrary to Art. 8.1, and hence the previous lectotypification is to be disregarded. Accordingly, a new lectotype is designated for that name, currently accepted as Verbesina encelioides.

Asarum longerhizomatosum C.F. Liang & C.S. Yang (Aristolochiaceae) in Liang (1975: 21) was originally described from Guangxi, China. It was widely adopted in Chinese floras (Liang 1991; Cheng & Yang 1988; Yang & Zhou 2000; Huang et al. 2003; Yang & Yang 2006). However, the name was not validly published in 1975 because two gatherings (C.L. Zhang 001 in CMMI and C.L. Zhang 002 in IBK) were designated as types contrary to the requirements of Article 40.1 & 40.2 of International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi and Plants (McNeil et al. 2012) for the names published on or after 1 January 1958. Huang et al. (2003) presumed the two elements represented duplicates of a single collection and treated the name as validly published. However,searching for type material in herbaria showed that C.L. Zhang 001 and C.L. Zhang 002 were two different gatherings. Three duplicates of C.L. Zhang 002 are found at IBK. Although no duplicate of C.L. Zhang 001 was traced by us, the previous literatures indicated that at least two duplicates exist, one in CMMI (Liang 1975) and another in PTM (Cheng & Yang 1983). It is noted that “PTM” was the acronym of “Beijing Chinese Traditional Medicine College” whose acronym is BCMM now in Index Herbariorum Sinicorum (Fu et al. 1993) and Index Herbariorum (Thiers, [continousely unpdated]).

Abstract Valid publication of new names of fossil plant taxa published since 1 January 1996 requires a diagnosis or description in English, besides other requirements included in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (Melbourne Code) adopted by the Eighteenth International Botanical Congress, Melbourne, Australia, July 2011 (McNeill et al. 2012). In order to validate names published from the late Eocene flora of the Staré Sedlo Formation, North Bohemia, diagnosed only in German (Knobloch et al. 1996), English translations are provided, including references to the type material and further relevant information.

It came to our attention that Begonia ×intermedia Veitch ex van Houtte (1873: 39) was published in Flore des Serres and therefore, B. intermedia D.K. Tian et al. (2014: 116) is a later homonym and not legitimate according to the International code of nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants (McNeill et al. 2012: Art. 53). Furthermore, the article by Tian et al. was published on 24 Apr 2014 in Phytotaxa while B. wuzhishanensis C.I. Peng et al. (2014: 3) was published on 5 Feb 2014 in Botanical Studies for the same species based on type material collected from different locations on Hainan Island of China. In total, extant wild populations of this species have been found in at least the three places belonging to one city (Wuzhishan) and two counties (Qiongzhong and Lingshui), respectively (Fig 1).
