Marvinbryantia Wolin et al. 2008, gen. nov.
Type species: ¤ Marvinbryantia formatexigens (Wolin et al. 2004) Wolin et al. 2008.
Illegitimate synonym: ¤ Bryantella Wolin et al. 2004.
Etymology: N.L. fem. n. Marvinbryantia, in honour of Marvin P. Bryant (1925-2000), in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the microbial ecology of anaerobic ecosystems.
Valid publication: WOLIN (M.J.), MILLER (T.L.) and LAWSON (P.A.): Proposal to replace the illegitimate genus name Bryantella Wolin et al. 2004(VP) with the genus name Marvinbryantia gen. nov. and to replace the illegitimate combination Bryantella formatexigens Wolin et al. 2004(VP) with Marvinbryantia formatexigens comb. nov. Int. J. Syst. Evol. Microbiol., 2008, 58, 742-744.

Note: The name ¤ Bryantella Wolin et al. 2004 is illegitimate because it is a later homonym of Bryantella Chickering, 1946 (Animalia, Arthropoda, Arachnida, Araneae, Salticidae, Dendryphantinae, Dendryphantini), and a later homonym of Bryantella Britton 1957 (Animalia, Arthropoda, Scarabaeoidea, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae). See Principle 2. Consequently, a new genus designation Marvinbryantia has been proposed by Wolin et al. 2008.

Note: ¤ Bryantella formatexigens Wolin et al. 2004 is illegitimate because of precedence of Bryantella Chickering, 1946 (Animalia, Arthropoda, Arachnida, Araneae, Salticidae, Dendryphantinae, Dendryphantini), and a later homonym of Bryantella Britton 1957 (Animalia, Arthropoda, Scarabaeoidea, Scarabaeidae, Melolonthinae). See Principle 2. Consequently, a new species designation Marvinbryantia formatexigens (Wolin et al. 2004) Wolin et al. 2008 has been proposed by Wolin et al. 2008.
