We propose that Faenia rectivirgula be transferred to the genus Saccharopolyspora Lacey and Goodfellow 1975 as Saccharopolyspora rectivirgula (Kurup and Agre 1983) comb. nov. A description of the new Saccharopolyspora species is presented. The type strain is strain DSM 43 747 (= ATCC 33 515). In addition, we propose that Saccharopolyspora hirsuta subsp. taberi Labeda 1987 strain NRRL B-16 173T (T = type strain) be given species status as Saccharopolyspora taberi sp. nov., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-39-4-430
