Methanoplanus Wildgruber et al. 1984 (complete authorship reads: Wildgruber, Thomm and Stetter), gen. nov. (Type genus of the family ¤ Methanoplanaceae Wildgruber et al. 1984).
Type species: ¤ Methanoplanus limicola Wildgruber et al. 1984.
Etymology: N.L. n. methanum [from French n. méth(yle) and chemical suffix -ane], methane; N.L. pref. methano-, pertaining to methane; L. masc. adj. planus, flat, plane; N.L. masc. n. Methanoplanus, the methane (-producing) plate.

Note: Initial 16S rRNA-DNA hybridization experiments indicated that Methanoplanus Wildgruber et al. 1984 should be placed as a separate family, the ¤ Methanoplanaceae Wildgruber et al. 1984, within the order ¤ Methanomicrobiales Balch and Wolfe 1981. However, later 16S rRNA sequence comparisons indicated that Methanoplanus species are closely related to members of the genera ¤ Methanomicrobium Balch and Wolfe 1981, ¤ Methanogenium Romesser et al. 1981, and ¤ Methanoculleus Maestrojuán et al. 1990, which all belong to the family ¤ Methanomicrobiaceae Balch and Wolfe 1981. Therefore, the genus ¤ Methanoplanus should be placed within this family and the family ¤ Methanoplanaceae Wildgruber et al. 1984 should no longer be recognized.
