Moved
Moved from Therophilus.

Moving as the delimitation of genera differ between the times of Sharkey's 2015 comment here and his 2017 revision. This and several other earlier Agathidinae IDs will need re-evaluation for their current status.

Regarding Sharkey (2017)
Presuming the ID given was intended in the sense of the annulipes group, Sharkey's 2017 paper placed these outside of the genus Therophilus. Or were these truly intended to be included as a separate lineage? If so, Therophilus is classified under a different tribe, Mesocoelini, rather than Agathidini like Bassus.

Moved
Moved from Braconid Wasps.

Thanks. I should have known it was an agathidine--they're the ones that always look to me like ichneumonids to me at first.

Therophilus (formerly in Bassus)…
Per Dr. Michael Sharkey. Nice find.
