Velociraptor can refer to either Velociraptor Mongoliensis or to the  Velociraptorinae subfamily.

"   the mislabeling of deinonychus as a species of velociraptor in an American book called Predatory Dinosaurs Of The World which inspired JP."

This was more overstatement of theory than mislabelling. There is case to be made that Deinonychus was a  Velociraptorinae, though evidence is mounting against it in recent years. Of course theres is also case to be made it wasn't and some apparently think it wasn't even a dromaeosaurine.
