Revisión de las especies de pteromálidos descritas por R. García Mercet (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae)

Revision of the species of pteromalids described by R. Garcia Mercet (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae). The types of pteromalids (Hym., Pteromalidae) described by R. Garcia Mercet (1860-1933), deposited in the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales (Madrid), are reviewed. The material examined comprises six described species, five from Spain and one from Fernando Poo (Ecuatorial Guinea). Another two species, labelled as new by Mercet but whose descripcion was never publised, are described: Homoporus nubilipennis sp. n. and Artrolytus meridionalis sp. n., the latter in Mesopolobus. Mesopolobus blascoi Askew, 1994 recently described from Los Monegros (Spain) is synonymized with Eutelus maculipennis Mercet, 1923 (= Mesopolobus). We consider as valid species Homoporus semiflavus Mercet, 1947, Lelaps insularis Mercet, 1927 and Scuteuista nigra Mercet, 1910. Hispanolelaps coxalis Mercet, 1927 was correctly synonymized with Dipara petiolata Walker 1883. Type material of Metacolus aulloi Mercet, 1924 sinonimized with Metacolus azureus (Ratzeburg, 1844) was not found.
