• Notes:
  • 🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Geothermoarchaeota".
  • ❗ "Candidatus Geothermarchaeota" is the pro-correct name instead if this phylum is regarded as a separate phylum (i.e., if its nomenclatural type is not assigned to another phylum whose name is validly published and legitimate or pro-validly published and pro-legitimate and not rejected and has priority or pro-priority).
  • 🧍 The distinct name Hydrothermarchaeota from the same publication has a similar spelling. Publication: Angell RC, Freund GE, Willett P. Automatic spelling correction using a trigram similarity measure. Information Processing and Management 1983; 19:255-261.
