Nine strains of aerobic, gram positive, motile cocci in the genus Planococcus were studied taxonomically. They were divided into 2 groups according to their biochemical and chemotaxonomic characteristics. Four strains were those of Planococcus citreus Migula 1894. Five strains were regarded as belonging to a new species in the genus Planococcus, and Planococcus kocurii Hao and Komagata sp. nov. is proposed for these organisms. Strain HK 701 (=AJ 3345=CCM 1849=IAM 12847=JCM 2569=NCMB 629) is the type strain of this species.
