Anaerotruncus massiliensis Togo et al. 2015 is not a revived name (and cannot be). It is an effectively but not validly published name and has no standing. I agree that what Liu et al have done is both confusing and inappropriate, it should have been caught by the reviewers as it misappropriates the work of others. The more reasonable thing to do would have been to use a new name.
