Trichoporus persimilis Ashmead 1908

Trichoporus persimilis Ashmead, 1908 nomen nudum Irichoporus persimilis Ashmead, 1908 (in Rocha 1908: 70, misspelling), not Trichoporus persimilis Ashmead, 1904. Rocha (1918: 21, nomen nudum, checklist, misspelling). Tricophorus perssimilis Ashmead: Rocha (1950: 292, checklist, biology, misspelling). Tetrastichus (Exurus) perssimilis (Ashmead): Silva (1973: 109, checklist, combination, biology, misspelling). Remarks. Rocha (1908, 1918) misspelled the generic epithet Trichoporus as Irichoporus. The change from the letter “T” to an “I” was also done with the common genus Tetrastichus (cited as Ietrastichus) when the author cited T. balteativentris (see below). Rocha (1950) misspelled both generic and specific epithets when citing present species as Tricophorus perssimilis. Also, he reported the species as“parasites of cecidomyiid larvae from Myrtaceae and Rutaceae galls” (translated from p. 292). Ashmead (1904) described Trichoporus persimilis (now Galeopsomyia persimilis, after LaSalle and Shauff 1992) from Chapada (Chapada dos Guimarães, state of Mato Grosso, Brazil), as reported in the original description and on the lectotype labels (available at USDA/ARS 2016). Except by the same specific epithet, there is no other evidence that the species cited by Rocha (1908) is the same as the species of Ashmead (1904).
