Subsequent to the publication of the above paper it has been brought to our attention that the name proposed in the paper cannot be validated as it is a later homonym of the isopod genus name Maricoccus Poore, 1994. We here propose a new name for the taxon represented by strain 22II-S10r2T:
Description of Oceanococcus gen. nov.
Oceanococcus [O.ce.a.no.coc’cus. Gr. n. okeanos, ocean; N.L. masc. n. coccus (from Gr. masc. n. kokkos), a grain or berry; N.L. masc. n. Oceanococcus, a coccus from the ocean].
The description of the genus is as given for Maricoccus in Li et al. (2013) Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 104:1073–1081.
The type species is Oceanococcus atlanticus.
Description of Oceanococcus atlanticus
Oceanococcus atlanticus (at.lan’ti.cus. L. masc. adj. atlanticus Atlantic, from the Atlantic Ocean).
The description of the species is as given for Maricoccus atlantica in Li et al. (2013) Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 104:1073–1081. The type strain is 22II-S10r2T (=CGMCC NO.1.12317T = LMG 27155T=MCCC 1A09384T).
