= ¤ Proteus morganii (Winslow et al. 1919) Yale 1939 (Approved Lists 1980).

Notes:
1 Morganella morganii (Winslow et al. 1919) Fulton 1943 (Approved Lists 1980) and Proteus morganii (Winslow et al. 1919) Yale 1939 (Approved Lists 1980) have the same type strain and therefore are homotypic synonyms [Rules 24a and 24b (1)].
2 Subsequently, this species has been divided into subspecies (see: below).
