Interestingly, S. marcescens has one of the most confusing taxonomies of any bacteria and was given 17 other names before finally being officially named in 1980. 2. [idstewardship.com]

To avoid further confusion, the name Serratia rubidae (Stapp 1940) Ewing et al. 1973 (Approved Lists 1980) should now be used to designate the same ( Serratia rubidae - Serratia marinorubra ) taxon [2]. References: 1 BRENNER (D.J.): Family I. [bacterio.net]
