Strains LEOWEIH-7C ^T and LEPPI-3A were isolated from the Leopoldskroner Weiher, a lake located in the city of Salzburg, Austria. 16S rRNA gene similarities and phylogenetic reconstructions with 16S rRNA gene sequences as well as based on genome sequences revealed that the new strains belong to the A. antheringensis branch of the genus Aquirufa. Calculated whole-genome average nucleotide identity (gANI) and digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH) values with the closely related type strains showed that the two strains represent a single new species. The strains grew aerobically and chemoorganotrophically, and the cells were rod shaped, on average 0.8 µm long and 0.3 µm wide, red pigmented and motile by gliding. The genome size of both strains was 2.6 Mbp and the G+C value was 41.9%. The genomes comprised genes predicted for the complete light-harvesting rhodopsin system and various carotenoids. We proposed to establish the name Aquirufa regiilacus sp. nov. for strain LEOWEIH-7C ^T (=DSM 116390 ^T  = JCM 36347 ^T ) as the type strain. Strain LEPPI-3A (=DSM 116391 = JCM 36348) also belongs to this new species. The calculated genome-based phylogenetic tree revealed that Aquirufa and some other genera currently allocated in the family Cytophagaceae need a reclassification. Aquirufa, Arundinibacter, Sandaracinomonas, and Tellurirhabdus should be designated to the family Spirosomataceae, the genus Chryseotalea to the family Fulvivirgaceae, and the genus Litoribacter to the family Cyclobacteriaceae. Furthermore, based on calculated gANI and dDDH values, Litoribacter alkaliphilus should be reclassified as a later heterotypic synonym of Litoribacter ruber.
