Topic: Genus "Smicroplectus" Thomson, misspelt (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae)

The NBN Gateway has entries for genus Smicroplectus Thomson, 1883 with 8 species. It appears from the Nomenclator Zoologicus and elsewhere that the correct spelling is Smicroplectrus. I can't find an online copy of Thomson's work, but there is a reference in Perkins 1962  (biostor dot org/reference/86060, I can't post URLs!) at p. 437 as replacement name for Microplectron Foerster.

All done - that one was a typo that had been replicated by authors so I have corrected the names instead of creating duplicates
