Taxonomy With little supporting information or explanation Perrier (1897: 1633), in a classification in Traite de zoologie created tribe Endomyzostominae and genus Endomyzostoma for recombined prior species Myzostoma pentacrini Graff. In a modern assessment Summers et al. (2014:305) in their comments on Endomyzostoma scotia briefly overview the species they currently believe are in Endomyzostoma. There are seven species from stalked crinoids and seven from feather star crinoids. [details]
