Mesochorinae is a widely distributed subfamily of ichneumonid wasps with approximately 900 described species (Yu et al., 2012), of which almost 90% belong to the cosmopolitan genus Mesochorus Gravenhorst (Broad et al., 2018). Since it is a very large genus, it has become a group of complex taxonomy and with numerous taxonomic conflicts (Araujo et al., 2018). Recent efforts were made aiming to resolve nomenclature problems present within Mesochorus (see Araujo Vivallo, 2015; Kittel, 2016; Araujo et al. 2018). Specifically, Araujo Vivallo (2015) and Araujo et al. (2018) proposed a total of 19 replacement names, of which two became primary homonyms of existing names (listed below) and seven were invalid, as Kittel (2016) and, in one case, Schwenke (2002), had previously proposed respective replacement names. Furthermore, Araujo et al. (2018) published an identification key for the World genera of Mesochorinae which includes Incurvarion Kasparyan. However, this genus was implicitly synonymized with Neurogenia Roman (Ctenopelmatinae: Perilissini) when Reshchikov et al. (2014) transferred the type (and only included) species, I. gorochovi Kasparyan, to Neurogenia. To resolve the taxonomic conflicts that remain within the subfamily Mesochorinae, seven new synonymies and two replacement names are proposed herein, together with a corrigendum for the identification key proposed by Araujo et al. (2018).
中寄蝇亚科是姬蜂科黄蜂中分布广泛的一个亚科,已描述的物种约有900种(Yu等人,2012年),其中近90%属于世界性的中寄蝇属Mesochorus Gravenhorst(Broad等人,2018年)。由于它是一个非常大的属,已成为一个分类复杂且存在众多分类冲突的类群(Araujo等人,2018年)。最近人们致力于解决中寄蝇属中存在的命名问题(见Araujo Vivallo,2015年;Kittel,2016年;Araujo等人,2018年)。具体而言,Araujo Vivallo(2015年)和Araujo等人(2018年)总共提出了19个替代名称,其中两个成为现有名称的首要同名异物(如下所列),七个无效,因为Kittel(2016年)以及在一个案例中Schwenke(2002年)之前已经提出了相应的替代名称。此外,Araujo等人(2018年)发表了一篇中寄蝇亚科世界属的鉴定检索表,其中包括Incurvarion Kasparyan。然而,当Reshchikov等人(2014年)将模式种(也是唯一包含的物种)I. gorochovi Kasparyan转移到Neurogenia时,这个属被隐含地同义于Neurogenia Roman(栉寄蝇亚科:Perilissini)。为了解决中寄蝇亚科中仍然存在的分类冲突,本文提出了七个新的同义关系和两个替代名称,以及对Araujo等人(2018年)提出的鉴定检索表的勘误。
