Mollicutes - is this a contradiction?

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firmicutes#Classes on firmicutes: "The group is typically divided into the Clostridia, which are anaerobic, the Bacilli, which are obligate or facultative aerobes, and the Mollicutes."

However, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenericutes "Tenericutes (tener cutis: soft skin) is a phylum of bacteria that contains the Class Mollicutes."

Surely both can't be correct?
