"Candidatus Augarchaeota" (previously "Candidatus Aigarchaeota"[1]) is a proposed archaeal phylum of which the main representative is "Candidatus Caldiarchaeum subterraneum".[2] It is not yet clear if this represents a new phylum or a Nitrososphaeria order, since the genome of "Candidatus Caldiarchaeum subterraneum" encodes several Nitrososphaeria-like features.[3] The name "Candidatus Aigarchaeota" comes from the Greek αυγή, avgí, meaning "dawn" or "aurora", for the intermediate features of hyperthermophilic and mesophilic life during the evolution of its lineage.[2] The prefix Aig was found to be a misspelling, and corrected to Aug, thereby the new name "Candidatus Augarchaeota".[4]
