Taxonomy

Species formerly placed in this taxon

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
