Revision of the Species of Bassus Fabricius (Braconidae, Agathidinae, Agathidini) from Thailand

The species of the genus Bassus Fabricius (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Agathidinae) from Thailand are revised. Ten species are treated, nine of which are new to science, i.e., B. alaauratus, B. alboapicalis, B. albocyclus, B. chaweewanae, B. mediatratus, B. nopachoni, B. suyaneeae, B. wangi, and B. wichaii. Sharkey is the authority for all new species. Morphological and molecular data, in the form of COI mDNA barcodes, were used to delimit species. An illustrated key to species is presented.

Abstract

The species of the genus Bassus Fabricius (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Agathidinae) from Thailand are revised. Ten species are treated, nine of which are new to science, i.e., B. alaauratus, B. alboapicalis, B. albocyclus, B. chaweewanae, B. mediatratus, B. nopachoni, B. suyaneeae, B. wangi, and B. wichaii. Sharkey is the authority for all new species. Morphological and molecular data, in the form of COI mDNA barcodes, were used to delimit species. An illustrated key to species is presented.
