Menthinae, one of the five subtribes of Mentheae (Lamiaceae), with ca. 735 species, is represented in Brazil by a wide range of herbs and shrubs. During an investigation of the taxonomic history of the group for the Flora e Funga do Brasil project, several nomenclatural issues with typifications in the group have been identified. This study attempts to resolve them, making suggestions of new types and re-evaluation of synonyms. Thirteen lectotypifications and one neotypification are being proposed, along with the recognition of Thymus selloi Spreng. ex J.A.Schmidt as a nomen nudum. Most of the suggested changes are due to the loss of many of Sellow’s types at B during WWII, lack of specific herbaria references and collector numbers in the protologues, or to existence of designated syntypes in the referred collections. Our study is a contribution to the nomenclatural and taxonomic knowledge of Menthinae, providing a stable foundation for future study of its taxonomy, biogeography, and evolution.

薄荷亚科，薄荷科（唇形科）的五个亚族之一，约。735 种，在巴西以范围广泛的草本植物和灌木为代表。在为 Flora e Funga do Brasil 项目对该组的分类历史进行调查期间，已经确定了该组中几个与分类有关的命名问题。本研究试图解决这些问题，提出新类型的建议并重新评估同义词。正在提议十三种选型和一种新型，以及对百里香Spreng 的认可。前 JASchmidt 作为裸名. 大多数建议的更改是由于第二次世界大战期间在 B 失去了许多塞洛的类型，protologues 中缺乏特定的植物标本参考和收集者编号，或者在引用的集合中存在指定的同型。我们的研究对薄荷亚科的命名和分类学知识做出了贡献，为未来对其分类学、生物地理学和进化的研究提供了稳定的基础。
