Type species According to Salazar-Vallejo (2022) the subsequent designation of Phyllodoce groenlandica Örsted, 1842 as type species of Anaitides was done by Bergström (1914: 138). Czerniavsky (1882) had recombined eleven existing Phyllodoce species into his new genus, of which seven had feminine adjectival suffices which Czerniavsky kept unchanged [details]

Etymology According to Salazar-Vallejo (2022) Anaitides Czerniavsky (1882: 158) was derived from modification of the already existing genus Anaitis Malmgren, 1865 (later renamed Paranaitis due to junior homonymy). The etymology is somewhat unconvincing and confused but Anaitis is the Greek and Roman classical antiquity name of a goddess of Persia (Iran) named Anahita, who had a connection to the idea of a heavenly river.

Status Anaitides is a synonym of Phyllodoce for over 30 years, but has been regarded as a subgenus of Phyllodoce, as well as first recorded at its original full genus rank. Salazar-Vallejo (2022) advocated again recognising Anaitides at full genus rank. However, his key couplet separating Anaitides from Phyllodoce is unconvincing, and under Anaitides he has no remarks section justifying a separation from Phyllodoce. His analyses have no molecular data. It is thus premature for a genus change for a large number of species within Phyllodoce, many of which already have existing records in Anaitides or in Phyllodoce (Anaitides) as required to match their taxonomic history.

Etymology According to Salazar-Vallejo (2022) Anaitides Czerniavsky (1882: 158) was derived from modification of the already existing genus Anaitis Malmgren, 1865 (later renamed Paranaitis due to junior homonymy). The etymology is somewhat unconvincing and confused but Anaitis is the Greek and Roman classical antiquity name of a goddess of Persia (Iran) named Anahita, who had a connection to the idea of a heavenly river. [details]Grammatical gender The Code article 30.1.4.4 requires that -ides names be treated as masculine unless it is obvious the author regarded the name as feminine. The best that can be said about Anaitides is that Czerniavsky created no masculine names. Czerniavsky (1882) had recombined eleven existing Phyllodoce species into his new genus, of which seven had feminine adjectival suffices which Czerniavsky kept unchanged. The type species was designated later but had a feminine adjectival name as Anaitides groenlandica Örsted, 1842. It seems best to continue Anaitides as feminine [details] Status Anaitides is a synonym of Phyllodoce for over 30 years, but has been regarded as a subgenus of Phyllodoce, as well as first recorded at its original full genus rank.
