- A. indistinctus ( Nagai et al. 2010, ; Latin masculine gender adjective indistinctus, not properly distinguished or indistinct, referring to the biochemical characteristics compared with those of phylogenetically related species.)[4]
- A. onderdonkii ( Song et al. 2006, ; New Latin genitive case masculine gender noun onderdonkii, of Onderdonk, to honour Andrew B. Onderdonk, an American microbiologist, for his contribution to increased knowledge about intestinal microbiota and anaerobic bacteria.)[5]
