♀; MAGNICORNIS Th.“
Identity: Theroscopus melanurator Aubert (Cryptinae).
meridianator: Zatypota gracilis meridianator Aubert 1989a.
Type locality: F/Alpes-Maritimes/Var/Pampellone.
Type material: holotype ♀, temporarily on loan.
Notes: The type has not been returned from loan for several years, and might be lost.
Identity: Zatypota percontatoria meridianator Aubert (Pimplinae).
meridiator: Barichneumon bilunulatus meridiator Aubert 1993b.
Type locality: F/Provence, Alpes-Martimes, Hérault, Pyrénées-Orientales and Corse.
Type material: 29 syntypes at the MZL. Syntype ♀ labelled „TYPE // BARICHN.; BILUNULATUS Gr.; MERID-
IATOR Au ♀ // BARICHNEUMON ♀; PERVERSUS Kriech [crossed out]; ?BILUNULATUS Grav //
J.F.AUBERT; 16.8.1957 VAR; ST. AYGULF.“
Identity: Barichneumon bilunulatus meridiator Aubert (Ichneumoninae).
meridiator: Triclistus meridiator Aubert 1984.
Type locality: F/Languedoc-Roussillon/Hérault/Mauguio.
Type material: holotype ♂ labelled “TYPE // TRICLISTUS ♂; FACIALIS Ths.; MERIDIONATOR Aub. //
J.F.AUBERT; Plateau St. Michel; MENTON 29.8.1955 // TRICLISTUS m; AREOLATUS Ths. [crossed out] / f.
PALLIDIPES; Holm ou; NITIDIFRONS Ths.”
Notes: this taxon was first described as Triclistus facialis meridionator (Aubert 1960g). Later, Aubert reported
some specimens from Paulilles under this name, which he subsequently identified as belonging to Triclistus congener
(Holmgren,1858), with which he synonymized his species (Aubert 1963d). Later, he realized that he had missidentified
the Paulilles specimens as meridionator, and that the type material of this species was a distinct species.
He thus re-described the taxon under the name meridiator with the male from Menton as the holotype and the rest
of the syntype series of meridionator as paratypes. The two taxa T. meridiator and T. facialis meridionator are thus
objective synonyms, and T. facialis meridionator has priority. It is not a synonym of T. congener, but a valid species
(Aubert 1984).
Identity: Triclistus meridionator Aubert (Metopiinae).
meridiator: Zatypota picticollis meridiator Aubert 1989a.
Type locality: F/Var/Le Pradet.
Type material: holotype ♂, temporarily on loan.
Notes: this taxon was first described under the name Zatypota picticollis meridionator (Aubert 1965b), which is a
primary junior homonym of Zatypota anomala meridionator (Aubert 1960d). Aubert then re-named the taxon as
Zatypota picticollis meridiator. Taxon based on a single specimen, which by monotypy represents the holotype
(Art. 73.1.2.). The type has not been returned from loan for several years, and might be lost.
Identity: Zatypota picticollis meridiator Aubert (Pimplinae).
meridicolor: Zatypota eximia meridicolor Aubert 1989a.
Type locality: F/Provence/Var/La Londe-les-Maures, La Verrerie.
Type material: holotype ♀, temporarily on loan.
Notes: this taxon was first described under the name Zatypota eximia meridionator (Aubert 1963b), which is a primary
junior homonym of Z. anomala meridionator (Aubert 1960d). Aubert then re-named the taxon as Z. eximia
meridicolor. Taxon based on a single specimen, which by monotypy represents the holotype (Art. 73.1.2.). The
type has not been returned from loan for several years, and might be lost.
Identity: Zatypota albicoxa meridicolor Aubert (Pimplinae).
meridionator: Aethecerus graniger meridionator Aubert 1960g.
Type locality: F/Alpes-Maritimes, and Var.
Type material: five syntypes at the MZL. Syntype ♀ labelled „TYPE // AETHECERUS ♀; GRANIGER Ths.;
