Basileus Saussure & Pictet, 1898 (subjective synonym)

This neotropical genus of Copiphorini currently comprises six species of which three have been considered to belong to Moncheca Walker, 1869 by a few authors. Among the six species is V. diademata (Saussure & Pictet, 1898) , type species of Basileus (original monotypy). The translucent tegmina and the female’s slender upcurved ovipositor seem to be diagnostic for the genus Vestria , which is in need of a taxonomic revision ( Naskrecki 2000). Basileus was synonymized with V estria ( Hebard 1927) and is also incorrectly listed as synonym of Moncheca ( Otte 1997b, this latter citation needed to be excluded from the new OSF to prevent V. diademata from ending up under Moncheca ).
