Relevant section in the Code:

> 32.5.2. A name published with a diacritic or other mark, ligature,
> apostrophe, or hyphen, or a species-group name published as separate words
> of which any is an abbreviation, is to be corrected.
>
> 32.5.2.1. In the case of a diacritic or other mark, the mark concerned is
> deleted, except that in a name published before 1985 and based upon a
> German word, the umlaut sign is deleted from a vowel and the letter "e" is
> to be inserted after that vowel (if there is any doubt that the name is
> based upon a German word, it is to be so treated).
>
> Examples. *nuñezi* is corrected to *nunezi*, and *mjøbergi* to *mjobergi*,
> but *mülleri* (published before 1985) is corrected to *muelleri*.
