Nomenclatural History
The class Actinomycetes was originally proposed by Krasil'nikov 1949. This name appeared on the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names 1980. This name was affected by Judicial Opinion 79 in 2005. Zhi et al. transferred the members of this class into Stackebrandt et al. 1997 emend. Nouioui et al. 2018 non Actinobacteria Goodfellow 2021 in 2009. established as an earlier homotypic synonym of (Stackebrandt et al. 1997) Salam et al. 2020 pro synon. Actinomycetes Krasil'nikov 1949 (Approved Lists 1980) in 2015.

Judicial Opinion 79 declared the type order of this class as Actinomycetales Buchanan 1917. Zhi et al. transferred the nomenclatural type of this class into the Actinobacteria. This contravenes the Code, as the nomenclatural type cannot be removed from a taxon. The Actinomycetes have priority over the Actinobacteria, so this unification should have gone in the other direction.
