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.
