In the original article, there was a spelling mistake in a species name contained in Table 3 as published. As the information in this table is required for validation of the novel species combinations, this mistake has been corrected from “Caballeronia ptereocthonis comb. nov.” to “Caballeronia ptereochthonis comb. nov.” and “Burkholderia ptereocthonis” to “Burkholderia ptereochthonis”. The corrected Table 3 appears below.
