Krokinobacter Khan et al. 2006, gen. nov.
Type species: ¤ Krokinobacter genikus Khan et al. 2006.

Note: Yoon et al. 2012 propose to transfer Krokinobacter genikus Khan et al. 2006, the type species of the genus Krokinobacter, to the genus ¤ Dokdonia as ¤ Dokdonia genika (Khan et al. 2006) Yoon et al. 2012, comb. nov. According to Rule 37a, bacteriologists adhering to this proposal must change the name Krokinobacter to ¤ Dokdonia.
