Genus: Buettnererpeton GEE & KUFNER, 2022
Etymology: The original name given by Case (1922), Buettneria, honored William H. Buettner, a preparator who worked extensively with Case at the UMMP for 40 years. A brief obituary of Mr. Buettner can be found in a publicly accessible University of Michigan report published the year following his death (University of Michigan, 1957). The name remained in usage until 2007, when Mueller (2007) noted that the genus name Buettneria perfecta, was then placed within Koskinonodon, a genus selected by Branson & Mehl (1929), and as most recently placed within Anaschisma Branson, 1904 by Gee, Parker & Marsh (2019). The new proposed genus name for the former Buettnerai bakeri is Buettnererpeton, an available derivation form Mr. Buettner's name that preserves Case's original honoring of his colleague and that is combined with the Greek suffix '-herpeton’ a commonly used nomenclatural term from extinct 'reptiles' and 'amphibians'.
