The lectotype of Aulomyrcia scrobiculata , although not presenting the data cited in the protologue on the label, bears Berg's handwriting and adequately matches the protologue. The resemblance of Myrcianthes terminalis to Myrcia was already noted by Grifo (1992) in her revision of Myrcianthes , but she did not assign it to any species in this genus.
