Stigmatella is a bacterium genus in the phylum Myxococcota.[2]

Etymology

The name Stigmatella derives from:
Latin neuter gender noun stigma -atis, brand, mark; Latin feminine gender dim. ending -ella; Neo-Latin feminine gender noun Stigmatella, small dark spot.[3]

The genus contains three species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely[3]

• S. aurantiaca Berkeley and Curtis 1875 ((Type species of the genus).; Neo-Latin feminine gender adjective aurantiaca, orange colored.)
• S. erecta (Schroeter 1886) McCurdy 1971 (Latin feminine gender participle adjective erecta (from Latin v. erigo), erected, raised.)
• S. hybrida Reichenbach 2007 (Latin feminine gender adjective hybrida, half-breed, bastard.)[4]
