Abstract Fri'tsche.a. N.L. fem. n. Fritschea named after Thomas R. Fritsche, an American physician and parasitologist, in honor of his contributions to our current knowledge on chlamydial diversity. Coccoid to rod‐shaped, nonmotile, obligately intracellular bacteria, up to 2.5 μm in length . Cells show a developmental cycle with morphologically distinct stages similar to those of the Chlamydiaceae . Organisms were found in whitefly and scale insects, but have not yet been obtained in cell culture. The genus is based on the description of “ Candidatus Fritschea bemisiae” and “ Candidatus Fritschea eriococci” (Everett et al., 2005; Thao et al., 2003) (Figure 1). Type species : “ Candidatus Fritschea bemisiae ” Everett, Thao, Horn, Dyszynski and Baumann 2005, 1585. Taxonomic and Nomenclature Notes According to the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN), the taxonomic status of the genus Candidatus Fritschea is: preferred name (not correct name) (last update, February 2025) * . LPSN classification: Bacteria / Pseudomonadati / Chlamydiota / Chlamydiia / Chlamydiales / Simkaniaceae / Candidatus Fritschea Candidatus Fritschea could not be recovered in GTDB ** . * Meier‐Kolthoff et al.
