Jose Fernandez-Triana commented on "Microgasterinae Marshall 1855":

The information about MIcrogastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) available online is rather scarce and incomplete. That is certainly the case for EOL as well. Within the next few months I will try to update the information and will also be uploading photos of species and distribution maps based on my own work and research at the Canadian National Collection of Insects (Ottawa, Canada).

Wolfgang Lorenz commented on "Sphecidae":

@Cyndy Parr: @Cindy Megalomma Westwood 1841 (Coleoptera Carabidae Cicindelinae) has priority. The replacement name for its junior homonym in Hymenoptera Sphecidae is Megistommum Schulz 1906. As for its third homonym (Megalomma Johannsson 1926, Polychaeta Sabellidae), it is still listed as a valid genus name with more than 30 species in the World Polychaeta Database. Maybe Geoff Read can help us. A recent catalogue of Megistommum is here: http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/entomology/Entomology_Resources/Hymenoptera/sphecidae/Genera_and_species_pdf/Megistommum.pdf Megalomma is areal mess, because there are even homonyms among binomina, e.g., Megalomma vigilans, Megalomma bioculatum. If you need, I can send you a list of all known combinations. Wolfgang

@Wolfgang Lorenz: I'm in the process of finally fixing this homonym problem, which is complex because it involves three groups within Animalia. If Megalomma in Sphecidae has priority, do you know what the valid names for the beetle and the polychaete are?
