ABSTRACT

The single species carrying the three names Citrobacter koseri, Levinea malonatica, and Citrobacter diversus differs by at least eight characteristics from Citrobacter diversum as described by Werkman and Gillen in 1932. It is obviously not the same organism. Accordingly, the species should not carry the name proposed by Werkman and Gillen. I request that the name Citrobacter diversus be placed on the list of nomina rejicienda. Citrobacter koseri is the correct name. Levinea koseri is a correct combination when the genus Levinea is accepted. The epithet malonatica is a later synonym of the epithet koseri.
