---> ¤ Rothia Georg and Brown 1967 (Approved Lists 1980).

Note: Collins et al. 2000 propose to transfer ¤ Stomatococcus mucilaginosus (ex Migula 1900) Bergan and Kocur 1982 (the type species of the genus Stomatococcus) to the genus ¤ Rothia as ¤ Rothia mucilaginosa (Bergan and Kocur 1982) Collins et al. 2000, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Stomatococcus to ¤ Rothia.
