Oceanithermus Miroshnichenko et al. 2003, gen. nov.
Type species: ¤ Oceanithermus profundus Miroshnichenko et al. 2003.
Etymology: L. n. oceanus, the ocean; N.L. masc. substantive (from Gr. adj. thermos) thermus, hot; N.L. masc. n. Oceanithermus, warmth-loving organisms living in the ocean.

Note: A wrong etymology is given in the paper by Miroshnichenko et al. 2003: L. n. oceanus, the ocean; Gr. fem. n. thermê, heat; N.L. masc. (sic) n. Oceanithermus, warmth-loving organisms living in the ocean. With such an etymology, the correct name should be Oceanotherma (N.L. fem. n.).
