Century Dictionary and Cyclopedia
- n. A genus of bivalve shells to which very different limits have been assigned. By Linnæus numerous species belonging to different families were included in it. By later writers it was successively restricted: Retzius, in 1788, limited it to the Unionidæ, but by subsequent authors it was used for the Mya arenaria and related species, and as such it is universally adopted at the present time. M. arenaria is the common clam or cob of the coasts of the northern hemisphere. M. truncata is a second species, truncated behind.
- n. A genus of flies.
- n. Plural of myon.
- n. See myio-, myo-.
