Nomenclature Introduced as: "ein neues Genus welches ich als Schmarotzerthier einige Male auf dem Discus der Comatüla mediterranea gefunden und Myzostomum parasiticum genannt habe." In translation: " a new genus of which I found several times on the disc of Comatüla mediterranea as a parasite and called Myzostomum parasiticum" However, this appears to be a nomen nudum at this first usage instance.
"Myzostomum" is probably an incorrect latinization as the second part is based on Greek, Stoma, -tos, neuter, a mouth. The first part is based on Greek, Myzo, suck. Nevertheless in WoRMS there are 144 "...stomum" suffix genera, and 401 "...stoma" genera
