The proposal to combine all five species under the name Cellulomonas cartae is not in accordance with the Bacteriological Code because the specific epithet cellulans in Nocardia cellulans Metcalf and Brown 1957 has priority over the specific epithet cartae in Cellulomonas cartae Stackebrandt and Kandler 1980 [Rules 38 and 42].

Note: The specific epithet vitarumen (sic) has been corrected in the new combination Corynebacterium vitaeruminis [see, ¤ Corynebacterium vitaeruminis corrig. (Bechdel et al. 1928) Lanéelle et al. 1980, comb. nov.]. However the name "Brevibacterium vitaeruminis" corrig. has never been formally proposed before December 14, 2000 (date of publication of the amended Rule 61; see Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol., 2000, 50, page 2239, column 2). Consequently, in the "List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature", the epithet vitarumen (sic) has been maintained for Brevibacterium vitarumen.
