Type species: ¤ Riemerella anatipestifer (Hendrickson and Hilbert 1932) Segers et al. 1993.
Etymology: N.L. fem. n. Riemerella, named in honor of Riemer, who first described Riemerella anatipestifer infections in geese in 1904 and referred to the disease as septicemia anserum exsudativa (Riemer, 1904).
