Proposal of Allobrachymonas gen. nov. and three new combinations as replacement names for the illegitimate prokaryotic genus name Brachymonas, proposal of Allobosea gen. nov. and 12 new combinations as replacement names for the illegitimate prokaryotic genus name Bosea and proposal of Alloboseaceae fam. nov. as a replacement name for the illegitimate family name Boseaceae
The prokaryotic generic names
Brachymonas
Hiraishi
et al
. 1995 and
Bosea
Das
et al
. 1996 are illegitimate because they are later homonyms of the genus names
Brachymonas
Grassé 1952 (Protozoa, Polymastigidae) and
Bosea
He and Qian 1979 (a fossil dinoflagellate) [Principle 2 and Rule 51b(4) of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP)]. We therefore propose the replacement names
