Etymology Not stated. However, in the description of the genus Hartman mentions a short, globular prostomium. As Myrio means innumerable referring to the chaetae, the two words 'myrio' and 'globula' together do not create a meaningful genus name. Presumably Hartman retained 'myrio' to indicate similarity to the existing genus Myriochele. Indeed the two genera are now regarded as synonyms. [details]

Etymology Not stated. However, in the description of the genus Hartman mentions a short, globular prostomium. As Myrio means innumerable referring to the chaetae, the two words 'myrio' and 'globula' together do not create a meaningful genus name. Presumably Hartman retained 'myrio' to indicate similarity to the existing genus Myriochele. Indeed the two genera are now regarded as synonyms. [details]

Synonymy According to Capa et al (2012: 253) " Differences between Myriochele and Myrioglobula were traditionally based on the number of uniramous segments (Hartman, 1967), with Myrioglobula characterized by having one (TF = U : B : B) and Myriochele two or three (TF = U : U : B and U : U : U). However, this feature has been demonstrated not to be informative because it varies within Myriochele (two or three segments), and there are species, such as Myriochele robusta Parapar, 2003c, which show a different pattern with a biramous second segment between the uniramous first and third.
