The genus Methylophaga Janvier et al. 1985 comprises eight species with validly published names at the time of writing. The original description of the genus was published over 26 years ago and was based on only two species, namely Methylophaga marina and Methylophaga thalassica - as such, the description of the genus requires updating to take into account the other six known species. Based on literature concerning the eight species of Methylophaga published over the last 26 years, an emended description of the genus is presented, taking into account properties of all members of the species with validly published names.
扬维尔等人（Janvier et al.）于 1985 年创建甲基单胞菌属（Methylophaga），其中包含 8 个具有有效发表名称的种。该属的原始描述发表于 26 年以前，当时仅基于两个种，即海洋甲基单胞菌（Methylophaga marina）和海洋咸单胞菌（Methylophaga thalassica）——因此，该属的描述需要更新，以考虑到其他六个已知种。根据过去 26 年来发表的关于甲基单胞菌属的 8 个种的文献，在考虑到具有有效发表名称的所有成员的特性的基础上，对该属进行了修订描述。
