Abstract “Burkholderia dabaoshanensis” was described in 2012. Although the name was effectively published, it could not be validly published, because the description provided in the original paper did not comply with the Rule 27 (2) (c) of the Bacterial Code. The Code requiresthat the properties of the taxon form part of the protologue. As the name of this species does not have standing in nomenclature, the recently published new combination Trinickia dabaoshanensis could also not be validly published. The current proposal attempts to rectify the situation by providing the information required to meet the criteria stipulated in Rule 27 for valid publication. Keywords Burkholderia · Paraburkholderia · Caballeronia · Robbsia · Trinickia · Mycetohabitans
Introduction Burkholderia sensu lato currently comprises the genera Burkholderia, Paraburkholderia, Caballeronia, Robbsia, Trinickia, and Mycetohabitans (Sawana et al. 2014; Dobritsa and Samadpour 2016; Lopes-Santos et al. 2017; Estrada-de los Santos et al. 2018). During the process of establishing these new genera, many existing Burkholderia species had to be formally reassigned to the new genera as novel combinations. During the validation of the taxon names of the new genera Trinickia and Mycetohabitans and their associated novel combinations (Estrada-de los Santos et al. 2018), our collaborating team encountered a problem Communicated by Erko Stackebrandt. * Paulina Estrada‑de los Santos [email protected] * Stephanus N.

with the validation of the name “Burkholderia dabaoshanensis” sp. nov. and its comb. nov. “Trinickia dabaoshanensis”. The original species description was published in 2012 as a heavy metal-tolerant bacterium isolated from mine soil in Dabaoshan, China (Zhu et al. 2012). As the original description was published outside the International Journal of Systematics and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM), the name was only effectively published and still had to be validated. Although phenotypic, genotypic, and chemotaxonomic data were provided to support the proposal for a new species, the properties of the taxon described were not given directly after stating the new name a
