🧍 Moorella Collins et al. 1994 is a later homonym of a genus name with standing in the botanical (fungal) nomenclature: Moorella P. Rag. Rao and D. Rao 1964. Moorella Collins et al. 1994 is also a later homonym of a genus name with standing in the zoological (animal) nomenclature: Moorella Cameron, 1913. Principle 2 of the 2008 Code is not retroactive, so the name does not contravene the Code because of this homonymy. — Crook M. Personal communication, 2021-08-19.
