In this review, the history of the classification of the family Halobacteriaceae, the extremely halophilic aerobic Archaea, is reviewed with some emphasis on the recently described new genera Halobaculum, Halorubrum, Natrialba, Natronomonas, and "Haloterrigena." Speculation is made about the evolutionary relationship between members of the Halobacteriaceae and the extremely halophilic, anaerobic methanogens of the genera Methanohalobium and Methanohalophilus. Efforts to find missing links between the two groups are also reviewed.
