Etymology Grube gives no etymology or even diagnosis for Autolytus. However, Grube genera names tended to be descriptive Latin rather than names from mythology or names honoring other biologists. The closest mythological name is Autolycus from Homer's Oddssey, but it was already used at the time in Coleotera (insecta). So, taken literally, the generic name Autolytus is composed from the Latin prefix auto-, meaning 'self', and the Greek word lytos, meaning 'capable of being unfastened or dissolved', and seems to refer to the schizogamus reproduction by gemmiparity present in the group.  [details]

Taxonomy Nygren (2004: 115), in his revision of the subfamily Autolytinae considered the genus Autolytus Grube, 1850 as a junior synonym of Myrianida Milne Edwards, 1845. However, some species remained within the genus Autolytus due to their uncertain taxonomic position, being considered as "incertae sedis".  [details]

Etymology Grube gives no etymology or even diagnosis for Autolytus. However, Grube genera names tended to be descriptive Latin rather than names from mythology or names honoring other biologists. The closest mythological name is Autolycus from Homer's Oddssey, but it was already used at the time in Coleotera (insecta). So, taken literally, the generic name Autolytus is composed from the Latin prefix auto-, meaning 'self', and the Greek word lytos, meaning 'capable of being unfastened or dissolved', and seems to refer to the schizogamus reproduction by gemmiparity present in the group.  [details]

Grammatical gender Masculine. Subsequent authors have, with two exceptions, considered Autolytus as a masculine form. However, Grube (1850) himself did not change the feminine Nereis prolifera of the type species original name to Autolytus prolifer as he perhaps should have done. The word 'prolifer a um' is a new latin adjective meaning fruitful or productive according to Brown (1954) [details]

Taxonomy Nygren (2004: 115), in his revision of the subfamily Autolytinae considered the genus Autolytus Grube, 1850 as a junior synonym of Myrianida Milne Edwards, 1845. However, some species remained within the genus Autolytus due to their uncertain taxonomic position, being considered as "incertae sedis".  [details]
