According to Rules and Principles of the Bacteriological Code (1990 Revision), Micromonospora aurantiaca Sveshnikova et al. 1969 (Approved Lists 1980) is not correct because the specific epithet is illegitimate. The authors request the replacement of the specific epithet aurantiaca and they suggest sandarakina. They also request that the specific epithet aurantiaca in M. aurantiaca be rejected.
