The synonymy between Vibrio hemicentrotiKim et al. 2013 and Vibrio splendidus(Beijerinck 1900) Baumann et al. 1981 was suggested after a recent multilocus sequence analysis of the Splendidus clade, which included the type strains of both species. To clarify their status, we have determined genomic indexes from whole genome sequences of strains V. hemicentroti CECT 8714T and V. splendidus NCCB 53037T. Average Nucleotide Identities of 96.0-96.7 % and an in silico DNA-DNA hybridization value of 70.2 %, as well as similarity levels of selected housekeeping gene sequences support the consideration of V.hemicentroti as a later heterotypic synonym of V. splendidus.
