Contrary to earlier conclusions by two of the authors on the genders of some genus-group names in Mutillidae, it is determined that Smicromyrme Thomson, 1870, Erimyrme Lelej, 1985, Nanomyrme Lelej, 1977b, Paramyrme Lelej, 1977a, and Taiwanomyrme Tsuneki, 1993 are feminine, and Ephutomma Ashmead, 1899 is neuter.
