Nomenclatural History
The genus Methylothermus was originally proposed and validly published by Tsubota et al. 2005. Hirayama et al. published an emended description of this genus in 2011. Tindall replaced this illegitimate name with (Tsubota et al. 2005) Tindall 2019 non Methylothermus Tsubota et al. 2005 in 2019.

This genus name is illegitimate because the nomenclatural type is based upon a patent strain.
