Abstract
Based on the high phylogenetic relatedness of Auricoccus indicus Prakash et al. 2017 and Abyssicoccus albus Jiang et al. 2016, it is proposed to unite them with retaining the latter name as having nomenclatural priority. As the result of the species unification, the genus Auricoccus name is proposed to consider as illegitimate in the boundaries determined by Rule 51a of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.
