Abstract
The taxonomy of the genus Peptostreptococcus is currently under revision. F our well-characterised species, Peptostreptococcus asaccharolyticus, Peptos treptococcus indolicus, Peptostreptococcus lacrimalis and Peptostreptococcu s harei form a homogeneous group of species but differ so markedly from the type species of the genus, Peptostreptococcus anaerobius, that they warran t placement in a separate genus. We propose that these species, Peptostrept ococcus asaccharolyticus, Peptostreptococcus indolicus, Peptostreptococcus lacrimalis and Peptostreptococcus harei be reclassified in a new genus, Sch leiferella, as Schleiferella asaccharolytica comb. nov., Schleiferella indo lica comb. nov., Schleiferella lacrimalis comb. nov. and Schleiferella hare i comb. nov.
