Opinion 40: Rejection of the Names Mima De Bord and Herellea De Bord and of the Specific Epithets polymorpha and vaginicola in Mima polymorpha De Bord and Herellea vaginicola De Bord, Respectively
The generic names Mima De Bord 1939, 1942 and Herellea De Bord 1942 were placed on the list of rejected names. The specific epithets polymorpha and vaginicola in the names Mima polymorpha De Bord 1939, 1942 and Herellea vaginicola De Bord 1942, respectively, were placed on the list of rejected epithets. The tribal name Mimeae De Bord 1939, 1942 therefore has no standing in nomenclature because it is based on a rejected generic name.
