Zoology.

A genus of bivalve molluscs originally of wide extent but now comprising a group of related species in the marine family Mytilidae, including the common edible mussel ( Mytilus edulis). Also: a mussel of this genus (now rare).Valid publication (in form Mytilus): Linnaeus Systema Naturæ (ed. 10, 1758) I. 704.
