Every particle has a mirror particle; the mirror particle of a proton is called a mirror proton.
Every particle also has an anti-particle; the anti-particle of a proton is called an antiproton.
Anti-particles are also particles, hence they must have mirror particles.
Logically, the mirror particle of a positron is called a mirror positron.
My questions, therefore, is what to call the mirror particle of an antiproton? It it a mirror antiproton or an antimirror proton?

I prefer mirror antiproton, but I don't know if there is an official name.
Antimirror proton implies that the mirror is made of antimatter.
