• Czech names of Bryozoa and some of its subgroups are often used ambiguously. While some authors use the name mechovky for the whole phylum Bryozoa,^[3] others call them mechovci, leaving the name mechovky only for its class Phylactolaemata.^[4] Then singular mechovka refers to any representative of the groups. Besides this, the name mechovka is also used for many (but not all) of the genera from various classes of the phylum Bryozoa.^[5]
