Memo: Hemming (1967) stated:- It formerly appeared that this name was invalid as a junior homonym of Myrtilus Loudon, 1844 (Glimpses of Nature : 173, 200), but that so-called name is no more than an Incorrect Subsequent Spelling of an older name (Mytilus Linnaeus, 1758) and as such possesses under Article 33 (b) of the Code no status in nomenclature and does not invalidate any later usage as a generic name of a word so spelled. Myrtilus de Niceville is therefore an available name. The higher classification used here follows Lamas (2008).
