In 2022, Hitch et al. proposed the reclassification of species previously assigned to the genus Prevotella into seven genera, including four novel genera for which the names Segatella , Hoylesella , Leyella and Palleniella were proposed. In addition to the reclassification of Prevotella , this work described four novel species, Hallella faecis, Xylanibacter rodentium, Xylanibacter muris, and Palleniella intestinalis . [3] [4] [5]
