Haloterrigena (common abbreviation Htg.) is a genus of the Natrialbaceae.

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)^[1] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).^[2]

Taxonomy

Species formerly placed in this taxon^[1]

• Haloterrigena daqingensis, now Natronorubrum daqingense
• Haloterrigena hispanica, now Natrinema hispanicum
• Haloterrigena limicola, now Natrinema limicola
• Haloterrigena longa, now Natrinema longum
• Haloterrigena mahii, now Natrinema mahii
• Haloterrigena saccharevitans, now Natrinema saccharevitans
• Haloterrigena thermotolerans, now Natrinema thermotolerans

H. jeotgali is proposed to be a synonym of Natrinema thermotolerans,^[9] but as of 2022, is still considered a valid name.^[10]
