🧍 Regarded as not validly published. The transfer of Eperythrozoon coccoides (the type species of the genus Eperythrozoon) to the genus Mycoplasma means that the genera Eperythrozoon and Mycoplasma are heterotypic synonyms. According to Rule 44, the name of the genus must be Eperythrozoon because Eperythrozoon Schilling 1928 (Approved Lists 1980) has priority over Mycoplasma Nowak 1929 (Approved Lists 1980). In the paper by Neimark et al. 2005, the authors added a request for an Opinion concerning this problem. Consequently, according to Rule 28b(2), Mycoplasma coccoides (Schilling 1928) Neimark et al. 2005 is not validly published.
