Proposal of Verticiella gen. nov as replacement for the illegitimate prokaryotic genus name Verticia Vandamme et al. 2015

The prokaryotic genus name Verticia Vandamme et al. 2015 is illegitimate because it is a later homonym of the insect genus name Verticia Malloch 1927 [Principle 2, Rule 51b(4) of the Prokaryotic Code (2008 Revision)]. This name is therefore not a correct name (Principle 6), and a replacement genus name must be proposed (Rule 54).
